Problems with texlive-latex-doc

English Applications
#1

Hi at all,

I downloaded texlive-latex-doc by YaST. I would have a question:

  1. I can’t find it on my OpenSuse 11.4. Where was downloaded?

Thanks,

Fabio

#2

/usr/share/doc/packages/

#3

Thanks john_hudson,

but in /usr/share/doc/packages I found nothing about latex’s documentation.

However your suggestion was utile because I found latex’s documentation in this directory:


/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex

As a general help for the future, if you istall a rpm (via yast or zypper or
other means), you can show where its files end up with rpm -ql, for example


rpm -ql texlive-latex-doc

It is part of the openSUSE texlive-latex package; if you downloaded TeXLive from somewhere else, that may explain the absence. Otherwise, force a reinstall of textive-latex

Thanks martin_helm,

That command is very very useful!!

I installed texlive from YaST but it don’t has installed
automatically texlive-latex-doc. After I installed texlive-latex-doc
and now it is locate in:


/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex

That directory seems right, because in YaST → Software Manager → texlive in bottom right corner it explain the following:

After installing texlive and the package texlive-latex, find a large selection of documentation for TeX, LaTeX, and various layout styles in
/usr/share/texmf/doc. TeX (pronounced tech) is an interpreter for text formatting and was developed by Donald E. Knuth … etc. etc. …

Thanks,

Fabio

I think you may have misunderstood the situation; /texlive-latex-doc/doc is simply a link to ~/texmf/doc for those applications that expect a different path. It needs to be in /usr/share/doc/packages/. There is no point in moving a link to the folder to which it is linked.

Thanks john_hudson,

I found it also in /usr/share/doc/packages/.
