Doxygen generated latex failing with pdflatex

Question

I have generated latex with doxygen, then I run the make pdf command.

This is the first time I tried it.

[mysite.lan] (liberz) latex> make pdf
rm -f *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out *.brf *.blg *.bbl refman.pdf
pdflatex refman
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
/usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
make: *** [refman.pdf] Error 1

I looked at the mkexfmt command and it is trying to invoke tcfmgr as a command.

The /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig folder exists, but there is no tcfmgr command in it.

Previously I was getting the pdflatex command was not found, so that is recently installed.

[edit to answer version information question] I am sure I need to install more tools, but it is not clear what packages I need to install. I am using CentOS 7.1.

Doxygen PDF output depends on pdflatex command, which in CentOS 7 is provided by texlive-latex-bin-bin package, but runnig make pdf invokes yet another command, tcfmgr , which is provided by texlive-texconfig , hence, run the following command to install those dependencies:

yum install -y texlive-latex-bin-bin texlive-texconfig

You can check which packages provide any necessary file:

$ yum --quiet provides "*bin/pdflatex"

...
2:texlive-latex-bin-bin-svn14050.0-38.20130427_r30134.el7.noarch :
Binaries for latex-bin
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/pdflatex

$ yum --quiet provides /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr

...
2:texlive-texconfig-svn29349.0-38.el7.noarch : texconfig package
Repo        : base

But even with these 2 basic requirements satisfied, I found that many other messages followed, and the whole list to reduce warnings was:

xargs <<_EOF_ yum -y install
texlive-latex-bin-bin
texlive-texconfig
texlive-metafont-bin
texlive-iftex
texlive-cm
texlive-xtab
texlive-multirow
texlive-ec
texlive-sectsty
texlive-fancyhdr

texlive-helvetic
texlive-pslatex
texlive-courier

texlive-metapost
texlive-symbol

And yet Tex2PDF conversion produces many warnings, but the resulting document is quite satisfatory.

[Edited on Nov 8th] If you want a "recommended" package installation, you might choose one of these "virtual" packages that require other sets of packages, to compose a more "complete" Latex environment, in order of higher comprehensiveness:

• texlive-collection-latex : LaTeX fundamental packages
• texlive-collection-latexrecommended : LaTeX recommended packages
• texlive
