General ⇒ How do I compile this?

[ptknight]

Hello,

This is my first post on the forum. I found it via google and I hope you have patience for what I am about to ask you

I am basic user of Latex in the process of writing my thesis. I have a mac and I use the TexLive distribution.

I was looking for book layouts in latex when I found this by Allen B. Downey. The source for the book Computational Modeling and Complexity Science is available on the same page, but I cannot compile it. Can someone guide me through the process?

I get an error saying hevea.sty is not found:

Code: Select all

[...]
(/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/makeidx.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/setspace/setspace.sty
Package: `setspace' 6.7 <2000/12/01>
)

! LaTeX Error: File `hevea.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name: 

How do I install it, since I don't have it available in Tex Live Utility?

Also, do you know where I can layouts for thesis that I can freely use?

Thank you.

The missing package is not listed on CTAN. But you can get it from the HEVEA homepage [1]. Put the package in the same directory as the source file and try again. For further use you may integrate it into the TeX directory tree.

Thank you, it worked. I am now able to run make all and get the output of the file.
