I updated my TeXLive and lost the revtex4-1.cls class. The package revtex contains now revtex4-2.cls. Old version 4.0 is accessible by installing revtex4 package. There is a new package revtex4-1 which should restore the dependencies, and should contain revtex4-1.cls, but after installing it, the problem remains. The package revtex4-1 installs only docs, not revtex4-1.cls. Is it a bug, and is going to be fixed, or I'm doing something wrong?

    Well the new package revtex4-1 does install revtex4-1.cls -- but in the wrong place (in the doc folder). That's an installation error, I will report it on the texlive list. It should be correct tomorrow or the day after.

  • In the meanwhile, if you're running TeX from the terminal with bash, TEXINPUTS=$(kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFMAIN)/doc/latex/revtex4-1//: pdflatex filename will do. You should be using revtex4-2 anyhow.

  • @Ulrike, yes, you're right, thanks. Indeed the revtex4-1.cls lands in docs. I'll just wait a bit with the update. @egreg, sure, there is a number ways to make it run, but a lot of my coworkers who I write papers with opened terminal 2-3 times in a life. So I was looking for the solution for the latex paper that compiles on both updated and not updated systems.
