How to configure kile to run texlive 2011?

Question

I install TeX Live 2011 in Linux, but i can not configure kile to run the TL11. Can you explain step by step, please?

Solved:

$gedit ~/.profile

and digit

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

or

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH

for 64 bits.

put the following script as zzzz-texlive.sh into the directory /etc/profile.d/:

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/`uname -i`-linux:$PATH
export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH
export INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH
unset TEXINPUTS
unset TEXMFCONFIG

and restart the system

You do not need to reboot. Just log out and in again, that should do it. – Keks Dose Jul 28 '11 at 12:29
true and that was what I meant ... – Jul 28 '11 at 13:07
Where does the "zzzz" prefix come from? – alonso s Dec 09 '18 at 00:45
The ifiles n that directory are executed in alphabetical order. With zzzz we can be sure that it will be one of the last ones – Dec 09 '18 at 06:46

Kile uses only commands like pdflatex. So you have to check whether the symbolic links are created.

Type in the terminal: latex -v

The result should be:

marco@ubuntu:~$ latex -v
pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
kpathsea version 6.0.1

I guess you don't get this output. In this case the TeXLive documentation is your friend.

@Marco I just installed TexLive 2011 from the sources without having an older version on Maverick. Now I would like to install Kile without installing the old TexLive that apt whats to install when I try to install Kile via ppa. The same dependency problems occur when I want to install Kile from the sources. How is it possible to discard to install the old TexLive version? – JJD Oct 06 '11 at 23:28
@JJD: You can install Kile by the terminal: Please see apt-get install. – Marco Daniel Oct 07 '11 at 09:46
@Marco I know. But that includes dependencies which result in installing the old version of TexLive. – JJD Oct 07 '11 at 15:02
@JJD: No first you must download the file with sudo apt-get download and then use dpgk. – Marco Daniel Oct 07 '11 at 15:36
@Marco But still it will download 679MB as you can see in this screenshot. – JJD Oct 07 '11 at 16:36
@JJD: I use (ubunut 11.04):cd $HOME/Downloads && sudo apt-get download kile. Now you have download kile into the folder and you can use dpgk. (Do you want to see an image?) – Marco Daniel Oct 07 '11 at 16:42
In the end these tutorials helped me to successfully manually install TexLive 2011 and Kile 2.1.0. on Ubuntu 10.10. Thank you again! – JJD Oct 08 '11 at 14:17

For the ubuntu 12.04, there is a PPA available: https://launchpad.net/~texlive-backports/+archive/ppa

To install the repository, type in terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa

Then you can install latex as usual (there are a lot of guides on the web). To check the version of latex you are using type, in the terminal: latex -v
