texlive atomic install

Hi,

I installed texlive package per package (not using the "texlive")

package. I end up not being able to launch any of pdflatex, lualatex

nor xelatex, as I obtain

Can't locate mktexlsr.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /gnu/store/tlpkg /gnu/store/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive /home/gabriel/.

guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/ /gnu/store/dna8kpb00kq176rz8x69yy4j33my2q55-perl-5.28.0/lib/perl5/site_p

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/gabriel/.guix-profile/bin/mktexfmt line 25.

I can't find the format file `lualatex.fmt'!

The content '/gnu/store/{tlpkg,texmf-dist}' look suspicious. Inspecting

mktexfmt, we learn that those paths are returned by 'kpsewhich

-var-value=TEXMFROOT'. How can we change the path returned by

kpsewhich?

Cheers,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Can you tell us what packages you installed?

plus some 'texlive-fonts-'.

I'm don't know much about texlive file architecture, but it seems that

it is the mktexlsr command that set the path of 'kpsewhich'. If I

perform a 'guix package -m the-manifest.scm', the path seems well set,

but I don't have the 'mktexlsr.pl' file anymore in my profile (it exists

in

/gnu/store/[...]-texlive-texmf-20180414/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/mktexlsr.pl

though). If I run 'mktexlsr', the path returned by kpsewhich becomes

/gnu/store. I hope that helps somehow.

This has probably been solved for a while, closing.

Thanks for the report!
