I manually installed TexLive on Fedora 16 because I need to use tlmgr and install some packages. Now I want to get Texmaker, which I installed with yum, to work with the manually installed TexLive rather than the automatically installed one.

How can I configure it to do that?

    TUG gives some answers to install correctly a vanilla TeXLive http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html for Debian and Ubuntu users and I think it's perhaps the same things with Fedora. – Alain Matthes Apr 17 '12 at 05:52

  • @MartinScharrer Thanks, I was not aware that self-answers are acceptable. On some Stackexchange sites, you need high level of reputation to answer your own questions. – Tianxiang Xiong Apr 17 '12 at 15:11
  • @xiongtx: That's news to me. Usually there is just a time delay so you can't ask, answer and accept a post in short regression. – Martin Scharrer Apr 17 '12 at 15:22

Figured it out.

Go to Options -> Configure Texmaker and replace latex with /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/latex or equivalent. Do the same for pdflatex. Everything else should be fine, although I have not done further testing besides compiling some old documents.
