Which Linux distribution are you using? Most distros use TeXLive these days, and in this case you should be able to install missing packages with the TeXLive package manager (as described in the wiki for Cygwin). Apart from that inputenx should be part of your distros LaTeX packages. It is at least for me, so if you tell us which distro you're using someone should be able to tell you which package you need.

JoshuaChang:
sorry, i forgot to add my working platform, i'm using windows+cygwin, with tetex-base+tetex-extra installed(as described in cygwin installation guide), but failed to install inputenx in the final part,
i've searched google, seems that regular latex packages contain one .dtx file and one .ins file, i can only find inputenx.dtx...i totally got confused with its installation.

bluebrother:
On Cygwin I can recommend installing TeXLive instead of using teTeX (see http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LatexInstallation)

If you want to stick with teTeX it works like this (that's only one solution, you could also install it into a local texmf tree. I guess this won't matter on cygwin though).


--- Code: ---# put it into the oberdiek folder that should be present
cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/oberdiek/
# get the package file
wget http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/inputenx.dtx
# extract it
tex inputenx.dtx
# we don't need the file anymore
rm inputenx.dtx
# rebuild LaTeX' ls-R database
mktexlsr

--- End code ---

Edit: I've updated the wiki with this: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LatexInstallation#A_33teTeX

JoshuaChang:
thanks for the detailed instruction, it worked for me! ;D
