Hello,
I played with installation of TL into `~' and faced with strange
"limitation" of `install-tl':
if I set installation path (TEXDIR) to
~/usr/local/texlive
which is expanded to
/home/vladimir/usr/local/texlive
installation goes fine, but when I tried to use
~/usr/local/texlive/2012
(expanded to
/home/vladimir/usr/local/texlive/2012
) 'install-tl' warns me:
!! The default location as given below is forbidden or
!! can't be written to.
!! Either change the destination directory using <1> or create it
!! outside this script.
After I created that directory manually and returned to main menu
installation process goes without problem.
Also, removing either `local' or `texlive' (i.e. setting installation path to
/home/vladimir/usr/texlive/2012
or
/home/vladimir/usr/local/2012
) allows to install TL without manual intervetion.
Is this intended limitation?
OS: Fedora 17, i686, in VirtualBox
