[Dingo]

downloaded several times but md5sum is ever different from your

now I'll try to grow pup_save

[vanchutr]

If you 're still in trouble? I'll re-upload the new one.

@Dear Dingo
I'd re-uploaded the tex_400.sfs at
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/
You can download it with this link:

Be lucky, TK

md5sum:

Code: Select all

# md5sum tex_400.sfs
cfd80e856df006d41b9631ce0be726f7  tex_400.sfs

[Dingo]

downloaded and verified. now the md5sum is ok, but errors still!

Code: Select all

# /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/chu-mod.tex

This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
mktexfmt: No such file or directory
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!

updmap not

Code: Select all

# /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/updmap
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/updmap: line 1300: kpsewhich: command not found
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux/updmap: line 581: kpsewhich: command not found
updmap: config file updmap.cfg not found.

texhashing is okay. My pup_save file is big enogh (512 MB) and I have 490 MB free. I don't know what are the problems, have you any idea?
a note: if I try to find the pdflatex.fmt file, I see that I don't have no pdflatex.fmt file on my system!

[vanchutr]

I see that I don't have no pdflatex.fmt file on my system!

The pdflatex.fmt is auto-made by TeXLive system, thus we must have enough disk space (but not in the TeXlive tree - because the TeXLive is mounted read-only?)

I don't know what happens with your Puppy system. But I'd tested many, many times my tex_live.400.sfs on my Puppy 400 (puppy-4.00-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso). I note that: "puppy-4.00-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso". Don't use tex_400.sfs with the older version of Puppy; that will not run.

I suggest you to install your Puppy 400 in frugal mode and try the second tex_400.sfs. (Not important)

You can't put the source file (e.g. chu-mod.tex) in TeXLive's tree. Please make a new directory and put your sources .tex file in it. (e.g: /mytex)

Don't run the commands (in console) in the /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux. It request to add the path "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux" in your /etc/profile file.

You will run all commands in console (in your private directory - your source .tex directory)

You can find all TeX commands in /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux - Now you mount the tex_400.sfs and browse this directory. You will see all.

Sorry about my english. (I can read, understand no much, but write is bad)
TK, vanchutr

maybe, I don't know

is Puppy 4 version I use (puppy-4.00-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso)

I have already a working frugal install

Don't run the commands (in console) in the /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux. It request to add the path "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux" in your /etc/profile file.

I must ad only this line?

Code: Select all

"/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux"

can you posting an example of adding path? I'm very newbie in this. I hope by your help to having a working LaTeX environment

1.
The first time when we run pdflatex (or something as tex, latex, ...) TexLive will automatically create a file named pdflatex.fmt in /root/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/. The .fmt will not created if you have no space in your pup_save.sfs.

run tex we will obtain tex.fmt

Code: Select all

This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt
fmtutil: running `tex -ini   -jobname=tex -progname=tex tex.ini' ...
......

tex.fmt will be created in /root/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/tex/

Run latex xxxx.tex we will see:

Code: Select all

# latex chu-mod
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
...........

latex.fmt will be created in /root/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/

All the .fmt will be created in /root/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c

2. This is my /etc/profile

Code: Select all

#v3.02 set variables so everything can be found...
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/root/my-applications/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R7/lib:/root/my-applications/lib"
......

After you'd added "/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux". No need to reboot your system, thus you can "Restart X server" and try to compile your tex-source (or you can use my example chu-mod.tex is written in vietnamse characters)

3. Please remember that you will put your tex-source in /mytexsource (or other directory - but not in /usr/local/texlive/...). For example you'd put your.tex in directory /mytexsource, then you change to directory /mytexsource, open console at this place and use this command: "latex your.tex" (or something like pdflatex ....tex, tex ...tex - that belongs to your tex-source)

4. The tex_400.sfs has'nt the documents. Please google and download the appropriated documents

[Dingo]

I have added these lines to .bashrc

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux
export PATH

and now it works!

only remaining problem is that texmaker (before working) now has a segmentation fault any tim I try to launch. i'll looking for an another tex editor

Thanks vanchutr, this is great work you've done
.

[vanchutr]

@urban soul --- You're welcome urban soul

@Dingo
You can use geany (very ligth editor for TeX/LaTeX). It's not necessary to find othe Editor

don't worry

this file I have mirrored on this page (it's the same)

@dingo
Thank you to upload the "tex_400.sfs"

Code: Select all

this file I have mirrored on this page (it's the same)
http://puppylover.netsons.org/dokupuppy/programs:latex

You can use this file in puppy 4.10 (final release) by rename tex_400.sfs to tex_410.sfs (tested with my puppy 4.10)
Be happy

NB: Edited - Sorry about wrong typo!

[nainbuss]

@dingo:

Thanks. I don't know when I will be able to download it.

[atheist]

anything available for 3.01 hd-full install?

thanks,
-steve

[vanchutr]

@atheist
1. texlive_400.sfs is squashed in pup_400.sfs since you can try to use it in 3.01 by this way:
Rename texlive_400.sfs to texlive_301.sfs and load it with "BootManger config bootup"
2. If you can't load it by that way. You must use puppy 4.00 (or newer) to mount it (texlive_sfs) then copy all to puppy 3.01

[atheist]

thx; i'm considering upgrading to dingo anyway in the near future, so i may decide to wait for now.

thanks!
