That was the second option I mentioned, to install TeX Live directly. I don't think my comments about the difficulties of making do with Ubuntu's own bundled circa-2007 TeX packages were too far off the mark. > And, IIRC, there is a PPA for texlive 2009. This I did not know, though it is perhaps a less satisfactory solution than having a proper TeX Live available through the distro itself.
