Now, as the root user: make install --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx. --enable-gc=system: this ensures that the system version of libgc.so will be used instead of the version shipped with this package. --with-latex= ... --with-context=: These switches ensure that style files and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a texmf-local directory for them.
