General ⇒ Saving packages

[phi]

This means that kpsewhich works correctly and finds files that are installed, and that the file listofsymbols.sty hasn't been registered correctly.

Hmmm - then what do I do to make sure it registers the package?

Although it should have the same effect as texhash, you can try another command on the command prompt.

Code: Select all

initexmf --update-fndb

Afterwards check again if the package now can be found in the texmf tree.

still no luck

The file is definitely not in the texmf tree. The only conclusion is that you did something wrong. Try a desktop search for the file.

Hi again,

The funny thing is that when I try to save it once again the package is already there. I found it in the folowing site could this be where the problem lies?

Or is it perhaps because I'm using vista?

I can't see the correlation between the location of this package on CTAN and your OS. But the CTAN Catalogue has some other packages for creating such lists [1]. Perhaps you should think about using one of these, for example the nomencl package.

Hi again,

The reason why I'm not using nomencl.sty is that I am already using glossary.sty. Both of them uses makeindex and I'm not sure how to get both of them to run simultaniously.

Regardless of the fact that glossary is obsolete and should be replaced by glossaries, the call of makeindex for generating a glossary can be integrated in the post processing of a build profile for TeXnicCenter (TXC).
