Latex error : writetex.log not found

Hey, I try to use Writetext in Inkscape on Ubuntu. I installed it, Inkscape recognizes the extension, but I get the following error:
/bin/sh: 1: pdflatex: not found Latex error: check your latex file and preamble. CMD executed: pdflatex "-output-directory=/tmp/writetex-Nf8gwq" -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error "/tmp/writetex-Nf8gwq/writetex.tex" > "/tmp/writetex-Nf8gwq/writetex.out" Traceback (most recent call last): File "writetex.py", line 360, in <module> e.affect() File "/home/rusandris/snap/inkscape/5874/extensions/inkex.py", line 289, in affect self.effect() File "writetex.py", line 166, in effect print(open(log_file).read(), file=sys.stderr) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/writetex-Nf8gwq/writetex.log'
I added pdflatex to my PATH variable, still get this error. Can you anyone help me with
this?

Latex error: check your latex file and preamble.
....
Again, I have pdflatex, added it to PATH and still getting this error. Should I be doing something else?
This is a system environment problem. It is very hard to diagnose without access to your system. Based on the error message, Python used by inkscape cannot find pdflatex.
You can try to use custom latex cmd to override the command to be executed.
@rusandris you may try to use the latest commit, in which an additional path field is introduced. You can check #23 for more details.
