    which tex should give you an answer, if it does not, you may have skipped the Post-install: setting PATH step from http://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html, which basically reuires you to add binaries path to your path environment. In my ~/.bashrc I have

    PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux:$PATH

  2. In my opinion, you should not check the install option "Create symlinks in system directories" when you install.

    Perhaps, it would be better to use the GUI to install Texlive 2012, by using:

    ./install-tl --gui

    Before you start the GUI installation, install these two packages.

    sudo apt-get install perl-tk p7zip

    And then, you can run the Texlive installation.
