My main box out of commission and so I trying to run TeXLive on a
backup machine. But a Tex document won't compile because it
cannot find the libertine font. I dont' know if I orignally
installed TeXLive on the machine as user or root and that may be
the problem.
I have linux-libertine package installed on devuan excalibur.
Font-manager confirms it is installed. The libertine oft files
are located in /usr/share/fonts/opentype/linux-libertine/
$ fc-list | grep libertine returns all the libertine styles,
I register the font: ''
$ fc-cache -fv | grep libertine
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/linux-libertine
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/linux-libertine:
caching, new cache contents: 13 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/linux-libertine: skipping,
looped directory detected
I made accessible to TeXlive

However, I cannot compile this file:

/setmainfont{Linux Libertine 0}
/begin{document}

/end{document}
