LaTeX forum ⇒ TeXworks ⇒ sty file not found yet path is correct Topic is solved

[erwann]

Here's a file using xwatermark I have never had problem with until now. I edited TexWorks preferences to include the missing path, which wasn't previously needed. That didn't solve the problem. I'd appreciate a suggestion to troubleshoot this issue.

Hi,

the log file shows that you run TeX Live 2015 from Debian, but xwatermark is in the TeX Live 2017 directory. Perhaps set in your editor, that it runs the 2017 version. Or run tlmgr to set or update the symlinks.

I deleted the old and reinstalled the new.
