I have been using TeX for a while and I have never had to set up anthing like this :( I had used MikTeX in winblow$ and TeTeX in linux distros and FreeBSD 5.3/FreeBSD6.2, and I had never had to mess with TDS. This is what I always did, I tried to compile a tex project and it failed, I looked at which *.sty file was needed and I downloaded it from CTTAN or off another computer that had it and put it directly on the folder that I was working on. This had always worked for me. On TeXlive installations(with full TeXLive 20XY installations), I have not had to hunt down *.sty files, except of course that big tikz hungry trigbook package: http://media.texample.net/pgf/builds/pgfCVS2010-09-28_TDS.zip I downloaded it, and did not know what to do with it :( Not even with the full TeXLive 2010 package installed I could get that trigbook going :( [compiled except the tikz stuff ] Am taking a look at TDS, but still confused :( Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
