[texworks] Problems on Ubuntu 10.10

[Lutz-Peter Kurdelski]

Thanks for the hints. Let me summarize some information.

I installed TeXLive from a local copy of the DVD contents using
install-tl --gui=perl-tk
Luckily I could use the defaults except removing some documentation and
languages I do not use.

After that I installed - oops, may this be the problem -
texworks_0.3.0~svn726~maverick1_amd64.deb
with XeTeX extensions and
texworks-scripting-lua_0.3.0~svn726~maverick1_amd64.deb
texworks-scripting-python_0.3.0~svn726~maverick1_amd64.deb

TeXWorks itself runs. I can use the KOMA-letter template and write nice
letters. But when I change to dinbrief.cls it fails.

Please note the following:

$ kpsewhich dinbrief.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/dinbrief/dinbrief.cls
$ locate dinbrief.cls
/usr/local/share/texmf/latex/styles/latex2e/lpkdinbrief.cls
/usr/local/share/texmf/latex/styles/latex2e/lpkdinbrief.cls.bak
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/dinbrief/dinbrief.cls
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/styles/latex2e/lpkdinbrief.cls
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/styles/latex2e/lpkdinbrief.cls.bak

$ locate kpsewhich
/LAB/TeXLive/ctan/graphics/metapost/base/source/texk/kpathsea/kpsewhich.c
/LAB/TeXLive/ctan/graphics/metapost/base/source/texk/kpathsea/man/kpsewhich.man
/LAB/TeXLive/ctan/support/autoconf/ac_prog_kpsewhich.m4
/usr/bin/kpsewhich
/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/kpsewhich
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/doc/man/man1/kpsewhich.1
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/doc/man/man1/kpsewhich.man1.pdf
/usr/share/man/man1/kpsewhich.1.gz

and the path:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
