How to install utf8.def?

I'm using FC3 (64Bit) an the LaTeX editor Kile. When I'm using

Code:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

in my LaTeX Code to enable umlauts, LaTeX tells me

Code:

/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/inputenc.sty:118:File `utf8.def' not found. \endinput

So I googled for utf8.def, found it and copied it to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ (where latin1.def and inputenc.sty are too). But the errormessage stays the same.
How can I install utf-8 support for FC3?

Thanks, max

Hey Max, I had the same problem. At first with Unix and utf8 was written one par of article. Then with Windows it was impossible to create Pdf with utf8 but was possible to do it with latin9. I have found no way to install utf8 but i found a lot of Files for utf8/Coding. In one of help files was the advise:

\usepackage[latin9, utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{frontenc}
\usepackage{trace}
\serollmode

Try this.
