[Tex/LaTex] Installing mwe package

installingmwe

I am running a version of ubuntu that has TexLive 2009, which apparently does not come with tlmgr, so I have to install packages manually. I have done this before (extract to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and then run texhash /usr/share/texmf), but for this package,

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mwe

I did that, but it still complains that it can't find mwe.sty. You can see in that list of files that mwe.sty is actually not there. I read that with this ins/dtx pair, I am supposed to run

latex mwe.ins

but I am getting this error:

doriad@david-lab:~/temp/mwe$ latex mwe.ins
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

Please type another input file name:

Any thoughts on how to install this package?

Best Answer

It seems you're missing ydocstrip. It's included in the ydoc package.
