Hi,
Slackware comes with tetex in the t series. And as far as I've read you'll need this package in order to build texlive from the sources. Here a quote from slackbuilds.org Quote:
I have texlive running but installed it not from slackbuilds.org but with the installer: http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texli...-tl-unx.tar.gz unfortunately it downloads about 2GB of data while it installs but runs properly on Slackware. Markus |
thanx!!!i'm trying to display greeks...i think i'll find a solution without installing texlive
|
Could you please explain what's exactly the problem when you try to create greek letters in LaTeX? As you know these letters are often used in mathmatics and it should be no problem to get them for example
Code:
\alpha, \beta, \Gamma, \gamma etc. |

Well, that should be similar as writing german language. You should search in the internet for examples of a LaTeX-header for greek-language. For example here: http://users.uom.gr/~athang/latex_gr.html, it works here
Code:
\documentclass[12pt]{article} Markus |

You should also check the newgroup comp.text.tex

1. this solution works with the latest texlive.
Code:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} for shorter texts in greek, there is also the betababel package that you can load instead of babel. 2. you should be able to compile texlive just by replacing --enable-xindy by --disable-xindy in the slackbuild (this is what i did:)). |

It is no problem that this version doesn't come as a Slackwarepackage, because it installs as /usr/local/texlive/ and one has only to set the pathes correctly. The package can be uninstalled completely by deleting this directory. Markus |

|
i finally installed the texlive slackbuild and works fine with greeks...xelatex is fine...thanx for the help!!
