Anton,

I got the files and included them in the trigbook-src-1.1 directory
and it compiles, but outputs lots of errors:

Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2
and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all
the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts.

Which is this directory?

I don't have it :(

[olivares at quadcore ~]$ pwd
/home/olivares
[olivares at quadcore ~]$ cd texmf
bash: cd: texmf: No such file or directory

I know that under texlive there is a ~/.texlive/ folder, but there is
no ~/.teTeX/texmf in the home folder.

How and where do I install this one?

Even with full texlive installed, I don't get where I should unzip
this folder or how installation works :(

With TeXlive[full install] most of the stuff just works, except that
trigbook.tex with all the pdf/tikz stuff.

For the other book, I installed print/latex-pgf/ port and I got it to
work, the one diffyqs.tex previously mentioned.

Thanks for all your help & advice.

Regards,

Antonio
