[Help] No .dvi output

Post by chen »

Hi, when I compile cv.tex (attached), I get no .dvi output. I'm using TeXnicCenter and the build seems very, very short for the length of the document. I've attached the log file generated. The problem seems to be in the header section somewhere as the body of the file will compile, albeit obviously with errors. I've got a standard MikTeX installation with no addition packages (as I'm still new I've not got the hang of installing them yet). Also, it won't compile to pdf or ps either.

Thanks

On my system, the document compiles with no errors or warnings. Try adding \listfiles as the very first line of the document and posting the log file again. I think you may not have the packages you need. You can set MiKTeX to automatically download packages that you dont have installed by going start menu -> MiKTeX 2.8 -> Maintenance -> Options then near the bottom Package Installation and set install missing packages on-the-fly to "Yes"
