texlive-full installation fails
leomayer opened this issue · comments
Problem description
I have installed with Termux 1.04 texlive-full successfully on my tablet. I uninstalled Termux and reinstalled 1.07.
pkg install texlive-full installs successfully all packages.
Running the command pdftex returns
The program pdftex is not installed. Install it by execturing:
pkg install texlive-bin
Running the above mentioned command installs 0 packages and nothing is changed.
Expected behavior
After installation I would like to run the commands. But somehow they are not available.
Additional information
- Termux application version: 1.07
- Android OS version: 10
- Device model: Huawei
I guess it is a problem with the postinst script somehow. If you run texlinks all the links should be created and it hopefully works
Hmmmm.... running texlinks tells me to install texlive-bin . Which brings me back to the origin of this issue since I cannot do much.
BTW: Where should this texlinks be located - perhaps I can execute it manually.
Maybe PATH is not set correctly yet. Have you opened a new session or run source $PREFIX/etc/profile.d/texlive.sh?
What shell are you using?
texlinks should be in $PREFIX/bin/texlive/ and be a symlink to $PREFIX/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive-extra/texlinks.sh, does that file exist?
Running the first command helped and resolved the issue.
I'm running on ˋfishˋ. Execution of ˋtexlinkˋ succeeded as well.
Thx
I closed little bit tooo early. Running the first command helps. But when I close the session(s) with ˋexitˋ and than reopen termux I need to run again the same command. It seems like the setting is not persisted :-/
Running in ˋbashˋ won't change anything in the outcome. Even when changing from ˋfishˋ to ˋbashˋ executing there the ˋsourceˋ command and then exit from ˋbashˋ the command is not any longer there. I would have expected that it would be preserved despite the current status of the shell.
Right, I have not created a profile script for fish so the path is never updated for that shell.
From a quick search it looks like this should work for fish:
set PATH $PATH $PREFIX/bin/texlive
export PATHTry putting this in $PREFIX/etc/profile.d/texlive.fish and then close termux fully and open it again. The profile scripts are not sourced as often as for example .bashrc so you probably need to close termux fully in between
I didn't succeed much with your proposal. But this one helped.
contains $PREFIX/bin/texlive fish_user_paths; or set -Ua fish_user_paths $PREFIX/bin/texlive
Does this apply as well to other package installation via fish?
I think you can close nevertheless this issue.
Great! I'll add it to the package, thanks for testing!
Does this apply as well to other package installation via fish?
You mean if other packages might have problems?
Very few needs this type of customization, and some of them already have fish support. But please open issues if you notice problems
