  • Could you be more specific? Kile usually does a decent job configuring itself. Are you having problems installing Kile with TeXlive 2010 due to dependency issues? Or can Kile not find the path to your LaTeX binaries, or what? – frabjous Jan 10 '11 at 01:02
  • appears to install kile texlive 2009. – Regis Santos Jan 10 '11 at 02:20

    @xport: writing Portuguese is not so nice for non-Portuguese readers of this English-language international site. To spare them the use of a translator: it means "Don't forget to put a green checkmark if you are satisfied with the answer." I guess. ;-) – Stefan Kottwitz Jan 10 '11 at 19:31
  • @Stefan: OK. Next time will not do this again. :-) – Display Name Jan 11 '11 at 08:41

put the .../texlive/bin/../ to your path and everything will be fine. A good idea is to create a file zzz-texlive.sh in /etc/profile.d/:

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/`uname -i`-linux:$PATH
export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH
export INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH
unset TEXINPUTS
unset TEXMFCONFIG

replace 2010 with your current texlive year or change the whole path if you have another location of texlive.

  • Herbert, I could not. Permission denied. – Regis Santos Jan 12 '11 at 23:14
  • @Regis: That had to be done as root. Alternetively put it into your local .bashrc –  Jan 13 '11 at 08:10
  • I'll explain: when I install it automatically install kile and texlive 2009. One solution would be to install the texlive 2010 and use the terminal. – Regis Santos Jan 16 '11 at 13:41
  • I'm using texlive 2010 by the terminal, but every time I have to type PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/i386-linux:$PATH explained by site http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html how do I not need to type it every time you use the texlive 2010? – Regis Santos Jan 16 '11 at 22:29

I just went through the painful process of getting TeXLive 2010 installed and getting it to work with Kile. Here are the steps I had to take:

PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"

I also tried a few other things like changing paths and folder names in the process, but I don't think those affected it much.

  1. Edit the /etc/enviroment file as root and add the path directly, like: sudo gedit /etc/enviroment

  2. then add the path, it should look something like this (if you distribution is 32 bit)

    PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/i386-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
  3. logout or reboot
  4. next puge kile out of you system sudo apt-get purge kile kbibtex then
  5. add this PPA https://launchpad.net/~koshi/+archive/ppa
  6. update and reinstall kile

P.S. Just one note, when you do a sudo tlmgr update --all it wont work. You just have to do a sudo su then tlmgr update --all

  • Or do sudo /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr update --self --all. Btw, the recommended way to do sudo for GUI applications is gksudo. – Caramdir Feb 09 '11 at 20:18
  • I do not know how to install kile-2.1b5.tar.bz2 not know how to use cmake. I do not know and use the PPA. – Regis Santos Feb 12 '11 at 21:30
