Document Classes ⇒ pstricks not working

[ashish]

Hi. I just installed TexLive on my Mac, using the MacTex distribution. I cannot compile a latex file in which I use the pspicture environment, which is provided by the pstricks package. I get:

! LaTeX Error: Environment pspicture undefined.

I thought TexLive installs all of these packages. I do find many pstricks related files under /usr/local/texlive/2008, but I guess they are not recognized. Does anyone please know how to make PSTricks work. Thank you.

It seems that you simply forgot to include a PSTricks related package in your preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{pstricks-add}

If you did, there should be some more error messages. Posting the complete log file here as attachment might help.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Yes, that fixed it. I was not clear how the package loading works. Thank you for the quick reply.
