Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ picinpar/picins - No room for a new \count?

[ronank]

I'm trying to use either the picinpar or picins packages, but when I include them in my document, I get an error "No room for a new \count". I guess this means that these packages are defining more counters than TeX can handle, but I'm not sure what to do about it. (I know these packages are obsolete, but I can't find any other way to display graphics inline.)

I'm using TexShop 2.36 on a Mac. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Rónán

Hi Rónán,

welcome to the board!
You could try eTeX:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{etex}

Just to add that you need to load etex before the package that uses up the counts, so before picins in this case.

etex does the job - thanks!
