 Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:53 am Post subject: Latex and pstricks missing pst-xkey [SOLVED - brute force] |
 |
|
Hi,
I am looking to find a way to make some sketches in my latex document then I came across this site. There are many examples that I can learn from.
The problem is all examples I download and run latex with give me the same error.
| Code: |
`PST-3dplot' v1.72, 2006/02/07 (HV)
! I can't find file `pst-xkey'.
l.33 ...STXKeyLoaded\endinput\else\input pst-xkey
\fi
Please type another input file name:
|
Anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
My tetex version is 2.0.2-r8, I don't want to go to version 3 because current version is working fine with all my documents and presentations (foil + pdflatex).
I went to version 3 once and everything was a mess, so it is masked for now.

OK, I think I fixed the above error somehow.
I emerge dev-tex/xkeyval-2.4-r1 (masked ~x86) which contains pst-xkey.tex pst-xkey.sty.
This doesn't just work right away. I have to copy files that come with xkeyval package to my TEXINPUTS path.
At this point Latex doesn't complain for pst-xkey anymore.
But I have a new error message;

Grep "cmyk" shows that the error causing line is in pst-3dplot.tex which should not contain error.
Can someone help please? |

OK, I am able to run latex to create pdf graphic from those examples now.
Struggling ... but I did it!
Here's how I did it. (Just want to pass on to others who came across my situation)
1.When latex complain about cmyk color, just press ENTER (ignore it)
2.You will have *.dvi
If you use pst-3dplot download files from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-3dplot/ into your TEXINPUTS path. Then copy *.pro from the package into your *.tex path. You need this when you run dvipdf *.dvi.
You will need to do the same for http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-vue3d/ if you use pst-vue3d. And so on...
3.Run dvipdf *.dvi and now you have pdf graphic ready to be included in your Latex document using pdflatex (as I am)
NOTE TO Dev who maintain Latex/Tetex packages.
The packages are quite fragmented or loosely organized, as far as I can see. |
