Re: Installing texlive under Fedora 17.

Hi,

I installed texlive from the install.sh script. It worked after installing some perl modules which are easily to discover.

The texlive package manager worked better for me than the fedora repositories. Especially if you are going to use xelatex which I recommend.

The texlive that comes with fedora 17 is texlive 2007, the version from the tug link is texlive 2013.  On my system I used yum to remove texlive, then downloaded the .iso from tug, mounted the iso, installed from that and it works fine.

OK.  I have managed to download the "iso", mounted it, cd-ed to the mount point,
and run ./install-tl.  Turned out I had to sudo the command (which seems inconsistent
with the instructions on the TUG web page, but never mind).  I set the PATH environment
variable in my .cshrc file, and things seemed to work.

But ***then*** I tried to run latex on a file for a talk that I have to give in a week's time,
and all hell broke loose.  The talk makes use of the powerdot class, and when I do
latex on it, I get:

! Package hypdestopt Error: This package requires pdfTeX in PDF mode.

See the hypdestopt package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.55   }\@ehc
But powerdot is incompatible with pdfTeX.

It ***used to*** work!!!  (Why do these things always happen
to ***me***?)

I have attached a file demo.tex to demonstrate the problem.

What do I need to do to get things to work?  (Panic is starting
to set in.)

Thanks for any insight.

    cheers,
