- LaTeX installation instructions for
- VTeX/Free, version 7.30 and above
-
- 2001-09-19
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for VTeX/Free
-version 7.30 and above. In case you are still running an older
-version, upgrading to the latest one is heavily recommended.
-
-This file describes:
-
- * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
-
- * How to create the LaTeX format.
-
- * How to install the LaTeX files.
-
- * What to do if you have any problems.
-
-The below instructions refer to VTeX/Free for Linux-x86 (VTeX/Lnx) as
-well as to VTeX/Free for OS/2 (VTeX/2). Differences are indicated,
-where necessary. Paths are always written in Unix style, i.e., using
-slashes.
-
-
-REQUIREMENTS
-============
-
-These installation instructions assume that you have installed the
-VTeX/Free system already and want to upgrade LaTeX to a newer version.
-
-
-
-SAVING YOUR OLD VERSION OF LaTeX
-================================
-
-Back up the contents of the directories texmf/source/latex/base and
-texmf/tex/latex/base.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
-Copy all the files from the CTAN directory macros/latex/base to the
-directory texmf/source/latex/base of your VTeX system.
-
-Open a shell or OS/2 window and make the above directory the current
-one. Then unpack the distribution by executing the command:
-
- vtexlnx -i unpack.ins (Linux)
-or
- vtex -i unpack.ins (OS/2)
-
-NB: If you are still using version 7.3x of VTeX/Lnx, the full path of
-the vtexlnx executable, usually /usr/local/vtex/bin/vtexlnx, is to be
-specified!
-
-
-PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM
-===========================================
-
-The next step in the installation of LaTeX is to move the files needed
-to run the system into the correct directories (folders).
-
-The following files are to be moved from texmf/source/latex/base to
-the LaTeX input directory texmf/tex/latex/base:
-
- * latexbug.tex, testpage.tex, lablst.tex, idx.tex, nfssfont.tex
- small2e.tex, sample2e.tex and docstrip.tex:
-
- * the file texsys.cfg, if it exists (this depends on your version
- of VTeX/Free)
-
-and any files whose name ends with:
-
- * .cls document class files,
-
- * .clo document class options files,
-
- * .sty package files,
-
- * .fd, font definition files,
-
- * .def files of definitions which may be read by LaTeX while
- processing documents.
-
- * .ltx, the files from which the format can be built.
-
-You should move to the MakeIndex input directory texmf/makeindex
-all files whose name ends with:
-
- * .ist, MakeIndex style files.
-
-Please, note that any files existing already in the target directories
-must be overwritten!
-
-
-CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT AND CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-===================================================================
-
-See the LaTeX Local Guide, section "Creating the format file"!
-
-
-PROBLEMS
-========
-
-The installation should proceed smoothly. However, you may get some
-errors.
-
-`File missing': Some of the files from the LaTeX distribution are
- missing. There are a number of possible reasons for this:
-
- * The files really are missing.
- You should get the missing files from the same place you got the
- rest of the distribution. If you cannot do this then you should
- complain to whoever gave you this distribution.
-
- * The files are present, but in the wrong directory. See the
- section above "Putting the files where LaTeX can read them"
-
- * The files are present, and in the right directory. Check the
- path setttings in the main configuration file (vtex.ini or
- vtexlnx.rc, resp.).
-
-`Font missing': Some of the fonts (.tfm and/or .pfb files) required
- by LaTeX are missing. As above, either you have not got the
- required files, they have been deleted, or TeX is not able to find
- them. Check the main configuration file and the files
- texmf/vtex/config/pdf.fm and texmf/vtex/config/ps.fm.
-
-
-If you have any problems installing LaTeX, you should:
-
- * consult the LaTeX Local Guide and the VTeX/Free manual;
-
- * if this fails, try asking the ntg-vtex mailing list or a general
- TeX mailing list.
-
-
-CLEARING UP
-===========
-
-You may now be wondering what to do with all the remaining files in
-the directory texmf/source/latex/base that are not needed to run
-LaTeX. This is, of course, a matter of personal taste and
-availability of disk space but here is some guidance.
-
- * The files ltnews<xx>.tex contain the LaTeX newsletters. You should
- run the latest one through LaTeX and nove the resulting PDF file to
- the directory texmf/doc/latex/base
-
- * The files with names of the form <xxx>guide.tex contain reference
- information covering (amongst other things) those features new to
- this version of LaTeX: they are not intended to be either a user
- guide or a complete reference for the system. You should run them
- through LaTeX and move the resulting PDF files to the directory
- texmf/doc/latex/base, thus replacing the previous versions.
-
- * The files with extension .dtx, together with source2e.tex,
- can be used to typeset the documented source code (see texpert.txt
- for further information).
-
- * The files with extension .fdd contain the documented sources for
- the font definition files.
-
- * The file ltx3info.tex contains information about the LaTeX3 project
- and how you can support it.
-
- * The files with extension .txt contain information about (amongst
- other things) copyright, installation, patches and bug-reports; and
- those with extension .err contain errata lists for various
- publications: see 00readme.txt for further details.
-
- * The file ltxcheck.tex is used to test the format; therefore you
- should keep it if you expect to remake the format before getting
- the next full distribution.
-
- * The files with extension .ins are used to unpack the code from the
- .dtx and .fdd files.
-
- * We recommend that you keep, in the formats directory vtex/fmt, the
- transcript file that was produced whilst creating the format; this
- file is named latex.log.
