Hello All,

  Enrico: I had the same problem with my installation of texlive2012 on 
my ubuntu 12.04 machines. Kevin gave me a better way to change the 
symlinks: run the texlive manager with the command 'gksudo tlmgr gui' 
and in the 'Actions' menu, you will find the option for managing the 
symlinks.

  Hope this helps.  Greetings,

        - Sylvie

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