Without that, asy cannot create svg files. The current source, for those who need it, can be found at Install asymptote by running the following commands: export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && ./configure --prefix=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year; \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/bin/$TEXARCH \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --infodir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/info \ --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/doc/man \ --enable-gc=system \ --with-latex=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/latex \ --with-context=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist/tex/context/third && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx. --enable-gc=system: this ensures that the system version of libgc.so will be used instead of the version shipped with this package. --with-latex= ... --with-context=: These switches ensure that style files and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a texmf-local directory for them.
