[CentOS 7] TexLive2017中kpsewhich Bug的修复

使用TexLive有一段时间了，从2015到2017，一直运行如常。

最近，想把以前的文档重新编译，却发现不能正常运行，费了好大一番工夫，才终于修复了这个bug，记录如下。

问题描述：编译一个简单的 *.tex 文件时，经常报告系统文件找不到的错误，无论是 pdflatex，latex，xelatex 命令都有类似的错误。

test.tex 全文：

% test.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
hello \LaTeX!
\end{document}

用 pdflatex 命令编译报错：

[...]$ pdflatex test.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40. (TeX Live ) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

实际上，上述文件  pdftexconfig.tex  和  pdflatex.fmt  是存在的，它们分别位于  /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex  和  /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt  。

推断这是由于该文件并不在搜索路径内，以致于无法找到它们。接下来就是修复搜索路径的问题。

此时，TexLive 2017 的系统环境变量为

[...]$ cat /etc/profile.d/texlive2017.sh
#!/bin/bash
# setting for TexLive  environment variables, edit by She
export TEXMF=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/texlive//bin/x86_64-linux
export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH
export INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH
export TEXINPUTS=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig

相应地，可以看到 kpsewhich 命令并不能搜索到相应的系统文件（这里以 minted.sty 文件为例），而且 TexLive 2017 下 tlmgr 工具的参数设置如下，红色带下划线的文字是我添加的注释：

[...]$ kpsewhich pdflatex.ini
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/pdflatex.ini
[...]$ kpsewhich --show-path=.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig
[...]$ kpsewhich minted.sty    # 这个命令没有返回结果，说明 kpsewhich 的搜索路径设置不当
[...]$
[...]$ tlmgr conf

注意到，minted.sty 文件的默认路径为 /usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/minted/minted.sty，而 kpsewhich 命令并不能搜索到它，这是因为 kpsewhich 的搜索目录设置不当；tlmgr 命令返回的参数中有两处错误（红色背景所示），一是 pdftexconfig.tex 的位置未指定，二是 $TEXINPUTS 的内容仅由系统的环境变量所指定，而不会使用 TexLive 默认的目录设置（TexLive 专用的树形目录结构 TDS）。特别指出，tlmgr 命令的第二个错误写道：“==== kpathsea variables from environment only (ok if no output here) ====”，以后可以利用这里的输出字段来查询是否定义了冲突的系统变量。

接下来，修改 TexLive 2017 环境变量的设置文件，并且更新 TexLive 的设置。

[...]$ vi ~/Documents/texlive2017.sh
#!/bin/bash
# setting for TexLive  environment variables, edit by She
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/texlive//bin/x86_64-linux
export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH
export INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH

[...]$ sudo cp ~/Documents/texlive2017.sh /etc/profile.d/texlive2017.sh
[...]$ source /etc/profile.d/texlive2017.sh
[...]$ sudo texhash

注销，再重新登录。

此时，查询这个变量 $TEXINPUTS 是否有值，再重复之前的 pdflatex 编译工作，可以看到 pdflatex 命令运行正常，可以生成相应的 test.pdf 文件：

[...]$ echo $TEXINPUTS

[...]$ pdflatex test.tex

小结：通过以上对比，起码有以下两种方法来查看 TexLive 的搜索路径是否正常：

（1）通过查看  kpsewhich --show-path=.sty  命令的返回结果来判断系统路径是否正常

# 错误的返回结果
[...]$ kpsewhich --show-path=.sty
/usr/local/texlive//texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig
[...]$ kpsewhich minted.sty
[...]$

# 正确的返回结果
[...]$ kpsewhich --show-path=.sty

[...]$ kpsewhich minted.sty

（2）通过查看  命令的返回结果来准确判断，各个变量的值必须要准确赋值，而且在最后一行的内容不能为空

[...]$ tlmgr conf
