Just in case that anyone get to the same problem as I had.

When I was running the cmake command I got the error message:

“Qt4 is required unless you enable the NO_GUI option.”

Try to read the CMakeList.txt and search for NO_GUI. Change the value there to “TRUE” to switch off the gui I’ve never seen. =)

Regards.

Hi Stefan,

hab gerade Deine Anleitung probiert, bin aber leider gescheitert. Fehlermeldung:

CMake Error: The source directory “/home/user/Downloads/miktex-tools-2.8.3541-1-i386-linux” does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify –help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Hast Du eine Idee, was ich falsch gemacht habe? Das Packet hab ich von der Seite die oben auch verlinkt ist geladen.

Viele Grüße,
Luc

Hallo Christoph,

es muss libcurl3 statt libcur13 heißen, es ist ein kleiner Buchstabe l statt der Ziffer 1.

Viele Grüße,

Stefan

Hallo Stefan,

erst einmal vielen Dank für die Mühe, die Du Dir hier gemacht hast. Eventuell kannst Du mir helfen: Beim Versuch Deiner Anleitung folgend erhalte ich bereits beim ersten Befehl die Meldung “Konnte Datei libcur13 nicht finden”. Ich benutze ein Xubuntu 9.10 und betrachte mich als absoluten Linux-Neuling. Xubuntu läuft seit einer guten Woche erst auf meinem Rechner…

Hi!

Thanks for the howto!
On Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic I had to install the following packages before the compilation:
#sudo apt-get install bison flex libqt4-dev
Then I made a
#sudo checkinstall
and it is working now.

Regards.

Hi,
after some more hours of trial and error i set up the variable at logon in the file ~/.profile.
I don’t know why, but that worked fine with kile. Apparently, kile only loads the variable TEXMFHOME once at the start.
By the way, I found that in another forum thread and the tipp was by you
Thanks a million!

Hi Stefan,
I am having some similar problems, but none of your advises did work at all. My TEXMFHOME variable is set to $HOME/miktex-texmf and I installed a new package there. This, however, does not work. Kile only compiles the test file if I copy the files stored in $HOME/miktex-texmf to my /usr/share/texmf directory. I also had a short look on my texmf.cnf, but it wasn’t very helpful. Any idea what might go wrong? I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Sören

Thanks for your quick response!

TeX Live 2008 (and 2009) sure do look good with the package manager! I found your post about getting it to run outside apt, which I might give a try later.. but I’m a bit scared of messing up my LaTeX system on my main computer while writing my thesis

Anyhow, I got everything to work with texhash after a very simple ‘mv /home/user/miktex-texmf /home/user/texmf’ and changing the ownership from root to myself. But a whole new world opened up with the config files.. good to know where all those variables are defined. Hope I can ignore it for a little bit and concentrate on the content of my tex documents again.. thanks for your help!
