im using Debian squeeze and installed LaTeX with apt-get install texlive texlive-lang-czechslovak texlive-fonts-recommended, but when i compile my school LaTeX template, this error occurs:

LaTeX Error: File `etoolbox.sty' not found

Where to find this file? It seems its availible only in newer versions, as suggested here.

Following the suggestion in How do I install an individual package on a Linux system?, you can search Debian's database to find the file etoolbox.sty. The search for squeeze points to the texlive-latex-extra package.

  • The texlive-latex-extra package is 868Mo. Is there any way to install it separately? – Clément Renaud Dec 18 '14 at 15:56

    @ClémentRenaud You can of course do a stand-alone install of the package (etoolbox) by downloading from CTAN, but that is outside of your package manager so may not be what you want to do. WE have a few questions in that area, for example http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1137/where-do-i-place-my-own-sty-files-to-make-them-available-to-all-my-tex-files – Joseph Wright Dec 18 '14 at 16:26
  • You can also just launch this command line : sudo apt-get install etoolbox But you'll have to install one by one any other extra package you want to use for Latex. Use this command line to insall most of the Latex extra packages (including etoolbox) sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra – hulyce Aug 08 '15 at 14:09
