Installing ipe interferes with already present texlive distro

[Franz Heuchel]

After installing ipe on my Ubuntu machine through apt I had problems using my standard TeXing setup (Sublime Text + LaTeXtools), because of the installed dependencies texlive-base texlive-binaries texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-base-doc. These put multiple binaries directly into /usr/local/bin that where then used instead of the nicely separated files in /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex.

The solution that the ipe developer suggested was to put /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex in front of /usr/local/bin. Would be great though, if one doesn't have to change anything to use ipe and texlive at the same time.

I am using ubuntu 17.04. The ipe package version is 7.2.7-2.
