you make it permanent add the export tine to a profile file (I don't know if gentoo does things different than ubuntu), I tend to add it to both my .profile and .bashrc (just the latter is generally not enough as things started from a menu does not use spawn
a bash shell), and the former is not enough if you also ssh into your box.<br>

You must add the path to the binaries, <br>

<div>so, in a new (root) terminal, I entered the following command:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> export PATH=/[$HOME]/tex-local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/:$PATH</div>
<br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_quote">(and also without the slash after .../x86_64-linux). Still the same error. That's where the TUG TL binaries reside. Do I need to use the path to my *system* texlive binaries?</div>
