Thank you very much for this link! I finally installed arabtex like
this:
1. Kopie the */arabtex directories to their right place in
/usr/share/texmf/
2. cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/arabtex/ && texhash
Thats it ... (its not nice ... but its working).
Thank you for your help.
Best refards,
Andreas
