Or at least that's what I wanted.<br /><br />I tried 2. Didn't fucking work. I hate PATH based nonsense, almost as much as I hate permissions based nonsense. I have installed everything, just bloody work.<br /><br />3. I had no idea that Tex would auto install pgf. I suspect though that my source is probably the most up to date PGF you are going to get.

Towards the end of the <b>tlmgr --install</b> it asks if you wish to put symlinks for <b>PATH</b>, <b>MANPATH</b>, and <b>INFOPATH</b>. If you do this you don't need to muck with <b>.bashrc</b>.<br /><br />3. I think it may be preferable to use <b>tlmgr install pgf</b> because [a] it's more up to date and [b] it'll integrate automatically with the rest of <b>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/</b>. For some reason <b>tlmgr install ktikz</b> doesn't find anything for me. (TeXLive 2011, Ubuntu 10.04, early Sep 2011)<br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you for putting up these demonstrations; this is EXACTLY the most helpful kind of google result when one is foaming at the mouth.
