| − | Thanks for the answer <b>pg</b> but I did perform the installation as root and looked in the /root folder but there was no folder named <tt>.texmf-var</tt>. What is this folder supposed to contain exactly? I hope these questions do not seem too stupid for words :)

If this is not the case, then your system simply does not match what I described (and assumed) on this Wiki page. In that case, perhaps we should continue this discussion on the mailing list (easier to have a dialog there). | |

Revision as of 13:02, 7 September 2005
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.
