[SOLVED] Kile or die

[lighthouse]

Dear people,

Who is using Kile (LaTex system for producing scientific pdf articles) ?

Up to recently it was fine - I could install it alone and use it. Now I still can use it in F17, but why is yum installing all the KDE basic utilities like konsole, konqueror etc. I just do not want those packages..

How can I install just Kile without obviously useless bindings, which were not present in the past (as it should be)?

Oh dear people.

Is this ok [y/N]:

How to install it without those 4 dependencies? Because kde-baseapps is a bunch of hell knows what as konqueror.

Thank you very delicious much.

If this doesn't work with yum just download the rpm file with yumdownloader and install with rpm.

man rpm

This is exactly what made me hate kile!

If you are open to using another tex editor, try Texmaker. I am using Texmaker downloaded from the texmaker website with texlive 2011. The one in the repository brings with it texlive2007.

As I am in that kind of mood today I am going to push my favourite editor.

Just use emacs + auctex. It makes editting latex files a dream

Hi, lighthouse,

Although I've never tried installing Kile independently from an rpm, I have done so with Texmaker (as suggested by nonamedotc). I put together a short document with some tips you might find helpful:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/101486902/...otes-Fedora-17
"Some LaTeX-related Configuration Notes: Fedora 17." 29 July 2012.

(This is mostly for my own reference rather than for public consumption. It is based on using Fedora 17 Gnome).

Another LaTeX-savvy editor you might consider is Geany. It is more lightweight, but it lacks some of the bells and whistles Kile and Texmaker have. It requires some manual configuration to add commands for actions such as cleaning up auxiliary files, or running xelatex.

If your needs are fairly basic, Geany might fit the bill. I've experimented some with Geany and can give you some configuration tips, if you wish. Just let me know if you're interested ...

HTH.
