Hello,

I would like to add the following hints:
Make sure, that the right version of LaTeX is called. I could imagine, 
that there is some old binary around, for which the remaining TeX-tree 
has been eliminated, like say an ancient texlive version. Maybe an old 
link in /usr/local/bin

What gives "which latex"? Does it point to the new texlive trees?

What are the first lines in the log-file?

What happens, if you call the newly installed programs with full path, 
something like e.g. /usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/<some linux 
variant>/latex localfile ?

Good luck
