[texworks] Problems on Ubuntu 10.10

[Lutz-Peter Kurdelski]

Thanks a lot for your time solving this little problem.

Under Edit->Preferences->Typesetting there is in the top window a list
of search directories.
The first was /usr/bin the second the one of the TeX binaries.
just moving the second to the top - the order of the list obviously
represents the search order -
solves the problem.

Regards
Lutz-Peter
