General ⇒ l3keys.sty problem

[spindlycat]

Hello everyone! I am new to LaTeX and not really sure where to turn.

I am trying to use siunitsx.sty. I installed it and got an error, then read its manual and found the dependency on expl3 and xpackages bundles. Installed those and now am getting an error on l3keys.sty. The error it gives is the same as I got when I had unsatisfied dependencies for siunitsx - but can't find in the manual any note about dependencies, so don't think that is the problem.

Searched the internet with no result. Searched this forum and all I found was some note about siunitx and having to update all packages. So, I went in and updated all packages (I have MikTek 2.8, and am using TekWorks to edit and compile to pdf) - same error.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
What is up?
\end{document}

That code produces the following error:
(C:\Users\ME\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.8\tex\latex\xpackages\xtras\l3keys2e.sty)pdflatex.exe: GUI framework cannot be initialized.
It produces no pages.
Log attached because I saw other people doing that...

I guess that you use TeXniccenter. The error is nothing to do with l3keys, but is because the automatic installation of packages by MiKTeX is failing. See http://www.miktex.org/2.8/issues for details on what to do.

Yeah, TeXnicCenter, I missspoke.

Anyway, set it to autoinstall packages and it worked! The missing package was called translator.

Thanks.
