MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Miktex pstricks-add package not working

[dennis.walter]

Hi,

I just installed the pstricks-add package and tried to compile a simple .tex file with \usepackage{pstricks-add} as the last directive in the header.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks,pstricks-add}
\begin{document}

\begin{TeXtoEPS}
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(1.5,1.5)
  \psline(0,0)(1,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{TeXtoEPS}
\end{document}

When I run "latex thefile.tex", I get an error:

! I can't find file `pst-fp.tex'.

This file cannot be found under "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8" anywhere (package is installed via Admin).

Any help? Thanks!

Hi,

pst-fp.tex belongs to pstricks-add. At the moment I'm using TeX Live 2009 on Windows and

Code: Select all

kpsewhich pst-fp.tex

shows the location:

Code: Select all

c:/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pstricks-add/pst-fp.tex

Sp, perhaps check the installation of pstricks-add or install it manually from CTAN.

Thanks for your reply. I found out what the problem was:

My version of the pstricks package was from late 2009. After that, pst-fp.tex seems to have been moved from package pstricks-add (which still mentions it as a contribution in its own README file) to package pstricks. An update of the latter package resolved my problem.

Great!
Just a remark: generally if a problem is solved, please mark the topic as "solved" by editing the first post and choosing the checkmark as post icon.
