Hi,
I've been trying to export emacs org files into PDFs using Guix.
I've the PDF generation from the .tex file is failing.
The issue has been discussed a few times previously, eg:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-02/msg00087.html
But there is conflicting advice over what packages should or shouldn't
be installed typically some combinaton of:
texlive-base, texlive-bin, texlive-latex-base, texlive-latext-font
The latest advice seems to be the only texlive-base should be necessary
and installing others will cause an issue - with that in mind I
attempted the below, but got a new failure.
I've recreated the pdflatex step on the command line - it gives exactly
the same error as the emacs error buffer contains.
The org file exports without issue in Ubuntu 18.04 with the following
(which may be more than I need):
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended
texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra emacs python3 python3-pygments
Any ideas what the minimum Guix package set is (or even a carpet-bomb
approach with a meta-package would be OK)?
Thanks,
Phil.

“texlive-base” is certainly not sufficient for any real world LaTeX
document. It contains what LaTeX developers consider the base set of
files (i.e. texlive-latex-base), texlive-bin (which provides the
executables), and LaTeX packages from the “required” set.
Since it already contains texlive-bin, texlive-latex-base, and
texlive-fonts-latex it is correct that you won’t need to explicitly
install those.
Dependent on the needs of your document, though, you will need to
install more packages that are not part of the “required” set (even
though other distributions may have them installed for convenience).
Exactly what those are is a little tricky to find out. I usually go by
error messages and then look up the files it complains about in $(guix
build texlive-bin)/share/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.

Note that the Ubuntu package called texlive-latex-base likely doesn’t
correspond to the package of the same name in Guix.

Depends on the document, really. Let me look at the errors.
> ! I can't find file `ecrm1000'.
This is a font provided by the old-style “texlive-fonts-ec” package.
(In the past I worked on and off to replace old-style packages with
corrected versions that actually contain *all* files that the texlive
tlpdb mentions, but I can no longer justify spending time on this kind
of work.)

Thanks for the hint Ricardo - I've made a lot of headway off this - and I'm
close to having it working properly
I had to use `guix import` for the minted, fvextra, and lineno packages - I
couldn't see anything in Guix itself which would supply these?
The guix import for lineno built correctly but, pdflatex didn't pick it up
the lineno.sty. Finally xstring package couldn't be automatically imported.
So I ended up with the following files in the same directory as my emacs
org and generated tex file
lineno.sty
xstring.sty
xstring.tex
That plus the following in my profile:
emacs 27.1
python 3.8.2
python-pygments 2.6.1
subversion 1.14.0
texlive-amsfonts 51265
texlive-base 51265
texlive-etoolbox 51265
texlive-fonts-ec 51265
texlive-generic-ulem 51265
texlive-latex-capt-of 51265
texlive-latex-fancyvrb 51265
texlive-latex-float 51265
texlive-latex-framed 51265
texlive-latex-fvextra 1.4
texlive-latex-hyperref 6.84a2
texlive-latex-ifplatform 51265
texlive-latex-lineno 4.41
texlive-latex-minted 2.5
texlive-latex-oberdiek 51265
texlive-latex-upquote 51265
texlive-latex-wrapfig 51265
texlive-xcolor 51265
At this point emacs built a PDF, but "with errors", and would refuse to
display it (although Adobe Reader did display it and it looked OK).
Looking at the *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer in emacs I see the following
issues, which I assume is what emacs is complaining about:
! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts.
! Math formula deleted: Insufficient extension fonts
At a rough guess I would have thought that the amsfonts package might have
convered this - but no TeX expert?
Any ideas on how to resolve this.
Also if anyone has seen the texllive-latext-lineno issue before any ideas
on why the sty file isn't picked after a successful install?

this is what I use:
https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/vorlesung-verteilte-systeme/browse/guix.scm
(propagated-inputs
`(
("python-pyzmq" ,python-pyzmq)
("python" ,python)
("which" ,which)
("emacs" ,emacs)
("texlive" ,texlive)
("graphviz" ,graphviz)
("plantuml" ,plantuml)
("python-pygments" ,python-pygments)
;; for ditaa
("openjdk" ,openjdk14)
))
Some of these are only necessary for source-blocks.
In addition to that a ton of fonts (all fonts guix has).
Best wishes,
Arne

This is the monolithic 3+GB package, not the modular texlive.
