<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I would like to use TeX Live in my living room on my RaspberryPi
(running Raspbian Jessie 2016-05-27).</p>
<p>Recently I had some issues with TeX Live on my Desktop system
(Debian), where I had to uninstall Texlive from the Debian
repository and reinstall the Vanilla Version (as documented <a
href="http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html">here</a>). The
problem was that "biber" produced errors, without any changes to
Texlive. I realized that it had to do with the recent updates to
Perl in Debian, thats why I switched to Tex Live 2016. Since then
its working flawlessly.<br>
</p>
<p>Therefore I chose the same approach for my RaspberryPi, running
Raspbian. I installed Texlive 2016 as mentioned above + Texstudio
(from the raspi repository), which worked fine. But now there
seems to be no version of "biber" installed. It is not present in
the /bin folder and when I do sudo find / -name "biber", it only
finds the source and doc of biber 2.5. What i don't understand is
that in tlmgr it shows biber 2.4 as installed (+ when I click on
update or install, it says that it is already installed), yet I
can't find the binary.</p>
<p>Do I have to build biber myself? When running "perl Build.PL" it
gives me all the prerequisites, that are not met (basically
everything), but two are actually installed, but out of date. Is
it possible to compile this on the RasPi without also compiling
the prerequisites? I'm currently running the script to install the
missing prerequisites (takes a while on the RasPi), but I think
this won't resolve the outdated ones?</p>
<p>Anyway, thats it for now, I'm kinda new to this so I don't know
whats possible and what isn't. So some clarification would be
really welcome ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!<br>
