Thanks, it worked. I thought I'd already set it up in ~/.bash_profile.
I installed texlive and was trying to install auctex for emacs:
That's what I get

checking for latex... NONE

You must install LaTeX for preview to work.
configure: error: ./configure failed for preview
I thought installing texlive would be enough, wouldn't it?
Does your /etc/profile.d/texlive.{c,}sh have executive permission? I think they have. But just in case, "chmod 0755 /etc/profile.d/texlive.{c,}sh" as root. AFAIK, a relogin should be enough.... ;(
Thanks for your help.
What turned out was that I ran the scripts not being in a complete root environment. Hence, it couldn't find the latex directory. Doing 'su -' solved the problem.
He was already logged in before tex was installed, so the profile scripts had not been run (since they weren't there when he logged in) and thus PATH did not include tex. Switching to root using "su" doesn't re-init the environment, so tex *still* wasn't in PATH.
I don't use and have xfce in my box. AFSIK, KDE will source the /etc/profile when login. So it will and do be fine here. And if you did not modify the patched(yes, by PatV) /usr/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop, Konsole will be a login-shell every time you invoke it. So it would be Ok if you use Konsole. For other things, I don't know. Sorry.
