Hi!
I want to make a a0 size poster with latex. To do so I downloaded the
following packages from CTAN:
a0poster
textpos
everyshi
Now I need to save them at an appropriate place (i.e., at a place where
Tex scans for input files). I looked at the Tex FAQ and read that files
with .sty, .cls or .fd extensions need to be saved in:
$TEXMF/tex/latex/<package>
where $TEXMF is the local root of the texmf tree. To find the local
root on my machine I did:
kpsewhich -expand-var "\$TEXMFLOCAL"
and got
/usr/local/share/texmf
But when I try to copy the files a0poster.cl or a0size.sty into
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
I see that the directory does not exist! Infact, when I try to see if
the following directory exists:
/usr/local/share/texmf
I get a message: "no such file or directory".
Can anybody see the mistake I am making? Any adivice will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipankar
