check_latex complains about not finding pg.sty when I try to install 2.19 on Ubuntu 24.04 in directory other than /opt.
I used to be able to install other versions of WeBWorK in directories other than /opt.

You should be able to install in a directory other than /opt. The check_latex script uses the settings from your configuration. So check you your conf files are all set up correctly. Make sure that you have pg_dir set correctly in the conf/webwork2.mojolicious.yml file. Also make sure that you do NOT have an override of $pg{directories}{root} set in either localOverrides.conf or site.conf. The default value from defaults.conf should always be used (which gets the value from the webwork2.mojolicious.conf file).
check_latex is done before setting up the server. Does it read the webwork2.mojolicious.yml file? I only checked the .conf files for /opt/ references.
Yes, it reads the webwork2.mojolicious.yml file. The only setting that it gets is the pg_root location. It also gets other directory locations from the settings in the course environment which is built from defaults.config, site.conf, and localOverrides.conf. Most importantly it gets the $ce->{pg}{directories}{assetsTex} location which contains the pg.sty file.
Thanks. I will try it again.
