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
