General ⇒ Installing PGF-TIKZ

[jhapk]

Hi,

I have attached the system texmf.cnf. I had to rename it because this website was not allowing me to upload a file with extension cnf. And if there are any secrets, the system-administrator will have to deal with it

The location cannot be found there.
Check at the command line:

set
senenv

and all possible kpsewhich paths. Perhas post the results here.

Hi Stefan,

sorry but I didn't get you. What environment variables am I supposed to declare?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

For instance

Code: Select all

kpsewhich -show-path=.sty

should show the search path for .sty files.

Environment variables can be changed by the set or setenv command.
I would go through the path variables visible in texmf.cnf and check what

Code: Select all

kpsewhich -var-value=PATH

shows.

Hi Stefan,

I cheated. I just asked my system administrator to upgrade the pgf package and he did it So its all good now. Thank you so much for all the discussion.

Great! That's the best way and all users benefit.
Perhaps the admin could also configure that the user tree TEXMFHOME in ~/texmf would be supported. It could save him work if users can use packages in their home directory instead of always asking the admin, and it's nothing what would interfere with the network.
