| 19 | Before starting to build TeX Live, set up your PATH so
|
|---|
| 20 | that the system can properly find the files. If you set up your login
|
|---|
| 21 | scripts as recommended in <xref linkend='postlfs-config-profile'/>, update
|
|---|
| 22 | the needed paths by appending to the
|
|---|
| 23 | <filename>extrapaths.sh</filename> script. The programs are always
|
|---|
| 24 | installed in an <ARCH>-linux subdirectory and on 32-bit x86 this is
|
|---|
| 25 | always i386-linux. For x86_64 and i?86 we can generate this as $TEXARCH:

| 31 | edit <filename>extrapaths.sh</filename> to ensure that the version for

| 32 | the year you wish to use is the only TeX present (some people need to

| 33 | keep multiple years available to ensure there are no regressions in
|

| 34 | their documents).
