I have installed ubuntu10.04 (32bit). My .tex editor is "kile2.1 beta 4". Whenever I compile the following command with kile shows an error 'tikz.sty' not found. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0)--(4,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

How can I fix this problem in my system ubuntu10.04

    Did you install texlive 2009 distro inside the 10.04 ubuntu repository using sudo apt-get install texlive-full ?. if not, I recommend installing TeXLive 2013 vanilla using this How to install “vanilla” TeXLive on Debian or Ubuntu?. BTW 10.04 is a bit old, stick with latest LTS version of Ubuntu LTS which is 12.04.3 now. – texenthusiast Oct 25 '13 at 03:35
  • Test 1 to verify install: Does kpsewhich tikz at terminal return the path of tikz ? Test 2 to verify install: does pdflatex sample2e at terminal give a sample2e.pdf – texenthusiast Oct 25 '13 at 03:47

    I think you need to install pgf separately: sudo apt-get install pgf should get you PGF/TikZ. Check for 10.04 (that's old) with apt-cache search pgf. – jon Oct 25 '13 at 03:53
  • Soumitra, have you been able to resolve this? – Paul Gessler Mar 02 '14 at 00:10
  • jon is right. Had this error myself on another computer when I was too lazy to install from iso. The pgf package, as I keep forgetting and remembering every year, is independently installed from the pictures (which includes tikz but it's not loaded unless pgf is present) extras, the common, and the main tex on 'ix systems. – Gottfried William Apr 20 '15 at 15:41
  • @jon Please make that an answer. That helped me. – Kaushal Modi Nov 19 '17 at 02:47
  • @KaushalModi -- The question has been closed, so I don't think it is possible to provide an answer unless it is reopened somehow. – jon Nov 19 '17 at 06:40
