It's already mentioned here

Note that for many builds, you will need to have a true login shell in
order to have a correctly populated environment. Among other things,
/usr/share/texmf/bin will not be in your PATH if you simply do "su" --
therefore, you will need to either use "su -l" when switching to root,
or source the /etc/profile script after doing "su", or perhaps modifying
/root/.bashrc to include necessary PATH elements.
