Does anyone here have experience installing the gregorio packages to work in Ubuntu using the non-repo TeXLive?
Gregorio isn't packaged on CTAN as far as I could tell, and I don't know enough to be able to figure out how to make the TeXLive install, see the various fonts and whatnot that are required.
After looking into install.py, it seems that everything is at its place. Check that in the definition of TexliveDirs, at the beginning of the file, there is a pointer to the "texmf-local" directory.
You find the right value by saying, at the command line
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL
If the answer is not in that definition, put it there. For example, on Mac OS X there's not the right one. :(
Run the installation with suitable privileges:
sudo make install
sudo ./install.py
are the correct way to put things in the right places (in the instructions the lines are those preceded by #).
I'll give a try on a Ubuntu machine.
The installation of the fonts has been successful on Ubuntu 11.04; the steps were as follows
1) edit install.py in such a way that the local directory name is present; for my case, where TeX Live 2010 is the TeX distribution, it's just to have
TexliveDirs=['/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local']
in the first lines of the file, as the command kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL answers /usr/local/texlive/2010/../texmf-local
2) run ./install.py but specifying the path for the necessary binaries; I usually create a soft link /opt/texbin to the binaries, so
PATH=/opt/texbin:${PATH} ./install.py
did the job.
If the TeX distribution is the TeX Live 2009/Ubuntu no adjustment should be necessary.
