### How to get lower case calligraphic font in math mode?

I want to use calligraphic style for my lower case letters in math mode in latex.
Searching throughout the internet, I have found to hinting solutions
1. Using boondox/dutchcal/mathalfa http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/231322/how-to-get-the-lowercase-calligraphic-symbols, or
2. Using frcursive http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1404
However, I am getting errors on using each of the above solutions on MiKTeX 2.9 on windows.

What I am using for option 1. is the following:
\usepackage{mathalfa}...\mathbcal{c}

But it gives the error
Package mathalfa Error: There is no bold variant of the calligraphic font. ... = \left(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B},\mathbcal{c}

Using option 2. as follows:

gives the error

But if I use dutchcal for option 1. as
\usepackage{dutchcal}...\mathbcal{c}

I am getting the lowercase fonts which is too slanted to use.

Is there any easy way to get calligraphic lowercase letters in math mode?

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Okay! It seems like I myself have found a solution using the package pzccal as posted in the link - What are the options to get \mathcal working for lower case letters?.

\usepackage{pzccal}\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{}\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}{<-> s * [1.10] pzcmi7t}{}\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathpzc}{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}...\mathpzc{c}
