Tetex is no longer mantained (see http://www./tetex/), so if we want the latest and greatest, we must install the latex system from the latest TeX live cd install.
First of all remove tetex-base, tetex-common, tetex-bin and kile from the repos.
The tetex package is no longer mantained so get the TeX Live Cd and kile source code from :
http://www./ftp/texlive/Images/
Get the packages texlive2005-inst-20051102.iso.zip and kile-1.9.1.tar.bz2
Once downloaded the tex live cd iso image unzip it by:
unzip texlive2005-inst-20051102.iso.zip and you’ll get the iso image. Burn it using your preferred burning app.
Installing the Tex system:
Go to the directory where the TeX Live cd is mounted /media/cdrom and execute:
sudo bash ./install-tl.sh
You’ll get a menu with several options:
Type S (Scheme) and C (install everything).
Type D (Directory) and you’ll get the predefined installation directories. You don’t have to change them if you don’t want to. The 2 option I changed it to /usr/local/texmf-local but the default is Ok.
Press R to return to the main menu and type I (install). It will take a while to install the tex system in your computer. Once finished you’ll get the following:
Add the following line to your .bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux
close the Console, open a new one and you’ll get all the latex tools in the command line 
When running latex if you get the error:
/home/yourusername/.texlive2005/texmf-var/ls-R: Permission denied
then go into the /home/yourusername/.texlive2005/texmf-var/ and type
sudo chown username:username ls-R
Installing Kile from source
Install the following packages from the repos:
kde-devel
xlibs-dev
Take into account that kde-devel has more than one hundred dependencies, but it takes less than 15 minutes to download them and install them if you are in a broadband connection.
type:
tar -xjvf kile-1.9.1.tar.bz2
cd kile-1.9.1
type kde-config - -prefix and you’ll get /usr
then
./configure - -prefix=/usr
if you don’t get any errors, then
make
and sudo make install. That’s all
If you need the latex2html package download it from http://www./ and get the package
latex2html-2002-2-1.tar.gz
type:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Happy TeXing!!
