General ⇒ couldn't find the .aux file

[danielle]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a paper using latex. But I got a problem now.
Someone sent me a package which includes .tex, .bib, .bst, .cls files, and works well on his mac.

But when I compiled it on my Windows( I use TexnicCenter),
I got messages:
"pdflatex.exe: GUI framework can not be initialized."
" I couldn't open file name ' D:\Latex\filename.aux"
"Couldn't find input index file D:\Latex\filename nor D:\Latex\filename.idx"

even there is no error after compiling, but it doesn't create .aux file.

I don't know what causes this problem. And my texnic works well for other files.

Thanks.

See http://www.miktex.org/2.8/issues and see if this sorts your problem.

This may be a solution: go to Miktex Settings (in the Start Menu) and "Package installation". Select the "Yes" option.

MartinC: I had the same problem and you were right, that was the solution. Thanks.
