Hello -
I'm setting up newly installed U11.10 and working under its Unity
desktop.
I ran into a problem with my installation of TexLive2011.
I chose to install this software by downloading it because
Synaptic offers only the somewhat outdated TexLive2009.
After downloading, I started the installer in a terminal with the command:
install-tl -gui wizard.
The TexLive installer opens and tries to install to
/usr/local/texlive/2011
and returns the message
"default not allowed or not writeable - please change."
I did not run into this problem awhile ago when I installed TexLive under U10.04.
I checked that I'm working under an administrator account.
I tried starting the installer with the command:
sudo install-tl -gui wizard
and got a "command not found" error.
I think this means that some permissions need to be changed but I want to check with you to see if there is a more global way of improving my administrative privileges.
Thanks and regards - Randy
