Are you a single user? Then you can add the following lines PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH [in your case it will be '/i686' instead '/x86_64-linux' ;)] in the file .bashrc of your home folder. (e.g., open with gedit /home/your_user/.bashrc) (This is my case in Ubuntu 9.10; if it doesn't work for you, try the .profile file) Testing the installation: type in a terminal tex --version This is my output: $ tex --version TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009) kpathsea version 5.0.0 Copyright 2009 D.E.
