Problems with PSTricks and hyperref

Post by harario »

Hello all,

I will start by saying I am a complete idiot when it comes to computers. I have been using Tex for years, but know nothing about what lies underneath, and whenever I manage to get it going it is like a miracle to me. Whereas installing R, for example, is a walk in the park, my nightmares involve reinstalling Tex on a new machine, which is, unfortunately, the case now... Therefore I will appreciate if you could guide me accordingly.

Earlier in the day I tried installing Miktex 2.9, and when I first encountered these very problems I was hoping retreating to 2.8 would do, but was unlucky I guess.

When I try to compile the following basic file through Tex => PS => PDF

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}


\usepackage[english]{babel}%[english,hebrew]{babel}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb, amsmath, amstext, amsthm, amsfonts, latexsym}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{graphicx}  
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{slashbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{theorem}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{moreverb}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage[bookmarks = False, colorlinks=true, linkcolor={black}, pdfstartview={XYZ null null 1.00}]{hyperref}


\begin{document}
hello!
\end{document}
Nothing happens.
When I disable pstricks and hyperref everything works all of a sudden. What gives?
I have Miktex 2.7 installed on another machine and it works perfectly.

Attached is the log file. Thank you all very much in advance!

Yor logfile shows that you are using MiKTeX 2.8, but your PSTricks files are very new which cannot be of MiKTeX 2.8. I suppose that you have a mismatch between different MiKTeX versions. The best way is to delete all versions and installing a new 2.9
