General ⇒ Error: I can't find file 'pzdr'

[curiouslearn]

Can someone please help me with this error? I get this when I try both the eqexam package of D. P. Story and the examdesign package.

I am using BasicTex distribution on Mac OSx. I tried the Exam package but it does not have some of the capabilities which these other two have.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can someone please help me with this? I had made the exam using eqexam package on my old PC, where I did not have this problem. Unless I get this problem resolved, it will not compile on my Mac OS x, which might mean I have to redo the whole exam in a new package. More importantly, the feature of eqexam that I particularly like is the ability to choose the number of columns in the multiple choice environment, which the exam and examdesign package lacks.

Any help will be appreciated a lot.

Thanks.

I have got the same problem, which occurred after downolading a format class (elsart.cls)

It might help to provide a minimal sample document that produces the error so that others can try to duplicate it.

I have a file on my computer pzdr.tfm which seems to belong to the zapfding package, so you might try opening a terminal and typing in:

Code: Select all

sudo tlmgr install zapfding

to make sure you have that package installed. (I think MacTeX comes with tlmgr from TeXlive... though I'm not positive since I don't use a mac. Anyway, it can't hurt to try.)

Thanks, "sudo tlmgr install zapfding" fixed the problem in my case!
