Texvc

[Predrag Punosevac]

Standard distribution of TeX for Unix is teTeX. It is ported of course 
look at teTeX-base port. I am not familiar with the package you are 
asking about so I could not answer you if it is contained in the teTeX 
base. You could install and check.

teTeX base really does not contain some packages that I use (powerdot 
Latex class of presentations for instance and srcltx which is necessary 
for inverse search)

You may do two things and I have done both

1. You can download packages you need from Ctan, install them manually 
and run texhash so that TeX tree gets updated.

2. teTeX is becoming obsolete (support have sized year and a half ago) 
The next standard distribution for Unix will be TeXLive
which is not in ports yet. People working very hard on it as we speak.
However you  can install it manually or run it  from the live DVD  (it 
is 1.7 Gb) 
It contains absolutely everything ever done for plain TeX and for Latex. 
I am still playing with it since I do want to use it as a Live DVD.
I was talking sys admin at University of Arizona (Debian guy but nice 
people apart of it) and they are also not in the harry to install
LiveTeX as it is not fully configured to run flawlessly on Debian 
despite the fact that is among Debian packages. They are keeping
teTeX for now until further notice. I also read Debian advisory and they 
are not advising HD installation of LiveTeX yet.


You may get TeXLive from Ctan of course.


If you have a Windows machine available MikTeX 2.5 which is standard 
distribution for
Windows is as comprehensive as TeXLive so I would guess that it contains 
the thing you are looking for.

Keep me updated
