Quoting Rolf Turner <r.tur...@auckland.ac.nz>:

Under Fedora 17 I recently had problems with running latex on a file that
previously (under Ubuntu) I had no difficulty with.  (A while back I had to
switch from Ubuntu to Fedora for reasons that I won't go into here.)

I thought that perhaps I might be able to get rid of the flakiness
by re-installing texlive.

I downloaded the install-tl-unx.tar.gz tarball from

Don't install stuff manually when things have already been packages. Fedora 18 features a complete TeXLive 2012 distribution; you can also get it on Fedora 17 by

# yum remove tex-* texlive-*
# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive.repo <<EOF
[texlive]
name=texlive
baseurl=http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2012/packages.f17/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
# yum install texlive-scheme-full

after which you will have a full blown TeXLive install.

Alternatively, you can update to Fedora 18 and just do the last bit.
