Thanks Robert.
No, I didn't have a pdftex beforehand, so I needed that from any Tex/LaTeX/TexLive
system.
It was perhaps my mistake to install texlive-extra because tlmgr doesn't work properly,
tlmgrgui seems unavailable, thus I can't list my currently available fonts or load new
packages.
With some hesitation or regret, I feel must install a full-blown TeX Live system, simply
for some help or control with the Tex of the org-mode LaTeX PDF export.
I found this link below, which suggests using the TeX Live Installer

Thank you.
