In the section entitled Install the zip archive towards the end of the page, the line
cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c
contains the hard-coded path /root/.texmf-var/web2c which is not explained. Could you clarify where I should be looking for the .texm-var/web2c folder and its contents please?
Thanks.
- You should be doing all of the installation as root, and therefore it should be in the folder /root, since that is root's home directory. Taco
- I didn't read that section on the page, but on OS X for example, root's home is at /var/root (which is not really relevant, since on OS X nobody ever uses that) --pg
Can't locate .texmf-var folder
Thanks for the answer pg but I did perform the installation as root and looked in the /root folder but there was no folder named .texmf-var. What is this folder supposed to contain exactly? I hope these questions do not seem too stupid for words :)
Thanks Mark Pearson
