Macpup 529 does not localize very well. I suggest trying Macpup 528 but I don't know if it supports your language.

No pdftex bin file anywhere.

The repo I downloaded and installed the packages from is ubuntu-precise-main. I considered starting from scratch and using repo puppy-precise-official, but it appears the latex packages aren't available there.

This is probably more effort than it's worth. Thank you for trying to help, but I think I might just let it go.

open fox and check out the directories you are look for a pdftex bin file. It will look like a gear. That is what needs to be linked into use/shin.




Where did you get this package from , what repo? The packages that are on the puppy forum are huge and need a ton of extra stuff.

I have deleted the broken symlinks, but am confused as to where the new symlinks should be directed. For example, the broken symlink "pdftex" was linking to /usr/local/texmf/bin/pdftex. Am I supposed be dragging and dropping pftex.exe from somewhere into /usr/bin? or is pdftex a directory?
The reason I ask is that I have found several directories named "pdftex". This is the result of find:

Code: [Select]

sh-3.00# find / -type d -name pdftex
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/pdftex
/usr/share/doc/texlive-base/pdftex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/pdftex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/pdftexI tried this:

Code: [Select]

sh-3.00# cd /usr/bin
sh-3.00# ln -s /usr/share/doc/texlive-base/pdftex pdftexand then to see if the pdftex command was then working:

Code: [Select]

sh-3.00# cd ~/Documents
sh-3.00# ls
test.tex
sh-3.00# pdftex test.tex
sh: pdftex: command not foundso I guess creating a symlink to one of these directories was silly of me... but I don't know what else to do. I also tried

Code: [Select]

sh-3.00# find / -executable -type f -name pdftexso that I could create symlinks to executables (like on my crunchbang system), but the search returned nothing.

You need to compare with or even replace /root/.packages and  /usr/local/petget  with whats on the cd verses your install.

No have not changed the interface.

And I have checked the md5sum, when I boot off the cd in ram it works, maybe something went wrong during the installation?
