Under Fedora 17 I recently had problems with running latex on a file that previously (under Ubuntu) I had no difficulty with. (A while back I had to switch from Ubuntu to Fedora for reasons that I won't go into here.) I thought that perhaps I might be able to get rid of the flakiness by re-installing texlive. I downloaded the install-tl-unx.tar.gz tarball from http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html unpacked, changed directories appropriately and executed ./install.tl as per instructions. I got an error message: Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./tlpkg /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm line 199. I looked at line 53 and it is opaque to me. I presume that I need to update *something* w.r.t. perl, but it is not at all clear to me what I need to do. Doing "yum search perl" gave a plethora of hits. I have no idea which are the relevant ones. Then "yum search perl5" basically turned up perl-pgsql_perl5.x86_64. What has pgsql got to do with the price of eggs in China? Can anyone suggest what I need to do to remedy the problem? I have no idea what extra information is relevant, so I have not tried to provide any. If some Good Samaritan would like more information about my set-up, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to supply it. I am fairly computer/Linux/LaTeX literate, but there are gaping lacunae in my knowledge, so please be patient with me. cheers, Rolf Turner P. S. I originally posted this query to texhax, but was told that this is a Fedora issue not a texlive issue, and that I should post to this list. R. T. |
