XeTeX ⇒ Minimal example doesn't run, corrupted installation?

[Rab]

I am about to switch to xetex and installed it using the ubuntu 11.04 software manager, texlive is also installed.

I'm compiling with XeLaTeX via Kile, but he doesn't even recognize the setmainfont-command, "undefined control sequence". It works when leaving out setmainfont.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
\section{test}
 test
\end{document}

Where can I look for the reason?

Make sure that you have the Linux Libertine font installed as OTF on your system [1]. Furthermore the log file could be very helpful since it gives more detailed information about what is going wrong. So check the log for any irregularities.

Your sample works fine for me. The log file would be helpful, especially if you add \listfiles to the beginning.
