Document Classes ⇒ Installing PSTricks Help

[localghost]

[...] I get two warnings that say "pspicture No. 1 undefined." and "File `PSTry-pics.pdf' not found." Afterwards it spits these directions, but I'm really not sure what it wants me to do:

Use the following commands to create it:
----------------------------------------------
latex PSTry.tex
dvips -o PSTry-pics.ps PSTry.dvi
ps2pdf PSTry-pics.ps
----------------------------------------------

I'm on a PC, and it looks like the above are linux commands, and it seems that they're asking me to do what the build is supposed to do anyway...any ideas on this one? [...]

Note that you need to have Ghostscript installed for a successful conversion process and the right path adaptation in the profile. The mentioned executables are not Linux specific. They are delivered with every LaTeX distribution.

I do not think that is completely true.
LaTeX it self does not always supply ps2pdf, true miktex does supply it but TeXLive does not.

Also note that if you installed ghostscript + gsview during the ProTeXt installation then you can view the PostScript file using gsview, and that program has an interface to convert the PS file to PDF.

It works!

Thank you so much...I was just being retarded and forgot to set the paths for the other postprocessors besides LaTeX.

Thanks again!
