I am still having trouble with basic text commands. Doesn't seem like it
should be that hard.
The following command, for instance:
zmore Xserver.1x.gz
gives me text with control characters in it. I'm fairly sure I'm not using
the right procedure to view these files.
Also, someone suggested using 'zless', but when I run this command I get a
'/usr/bin/zless: less: command not found' error.
In regards to a file that I downloaded (xxx.tar.gz), which was supposed to
be a latex archive file, as mentioned in an earlier post, I unzipped it with:
'tar zxvf filename.tar.gz'
Which gave me numerous xx.tex files. I finally deduced that I can only view
the .tex files that begin with '/begin/document' or I'll get an 'uncontolled
character sequence error' or something like that.
I then ran:
latex guide.tex (Which has the correct starting text in it)
and got the error message:
'Can't find file linuxdoc.sty'
Thinking I needed the library 'tetex-extra_0.4pl6-4.deb' I installed this,
which didn't solve the problem.
Reading simple text files shouldn't be this hard.
Thanks for any help someone might have.
