I'm trying to do my CV with moderncv but Texmaker show me an error 

!LaTeX Error:File 'moderncv.cls' not found.

But the moderncv macro is installed in TeX Live 2011.

from a terminal, do sudo mktexlsr to update the files database, and then kpsewhich moderncv.cls, just to check that it is correctly installed. – Koji Apr 10 '12 at 8:47

Also, which tex or which kpsewhich to be sure that the correct TeX Live installation is in use, in case you have two (eg, one installed by yourself, and one installed by your linux distro as a dependency to another package). – mpg Apr 10 '12 at 20:35
And for Windows? I use windows 7 and Ubuntu. – Vassilis Apr 11 '12 at 11:45
@Vassilis MiKTeX or TeX Live? For TL, you can start a Command Prompt with admin rights and proceed as for Linux (without sudo, of course). For MiKTeX, you are probably better using the graphical tools: update the Filename Data Base from the 'admin' version of the settings manager. – Joseph Wright♦ Apr 15 '12 at 8:00
