tlmgr not installed

Post by arnoques »

Hi everyone

I've been using latex for a while now, and I was starting to write my master's theses when I found out that the texlive installation I had was from 2005 (I'm using Debian Etch). So I decided to install the latest version, by means of the TeXLive installer (followed the instructions from http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive- ... ve-en.html). The installation had some troubles due to my not so long experience in linux, but it went fine in the end and some test files were typesetted ok.

The problem arised when I tried the manager tlmgr:

Code: Select all

$ tlmgr
bash: tlmgr: command not found
$ find / -name tlmgr
$  (nothing was found)
Do you have any idea of what is going on? Of course I tried google and several forums, but couldn't find anything (maybe because tlmgr is very new?). I've attached the installation profile and installation logfile.

Thanks!!

Hi, everyone!

I finally solved the problem the easy way: I uninstalled and reinstalled texlive completely. It was very easy, just followed the instructions here: http://wang.yuxuan.org/blog/2007/1/5/se ... ll_texlive (thank's Wang!)

Then, I downloaded the whole texlive dvd from Bittorrent (http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html) and reinstalled it following the instructions here: http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive- ... 1-210003.2

I hope this helps!

PD: of course I jhave no clue as to what went wrong...
