Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Kile and »vaucanson-g« package

[OphTeX]

Hi!

I would like to draw automates using Kile on Linux. Unfortunately my testfile (which you can see below) does not compile. The error I get is somewhat cryptic, at least for me. I have tried it with Tex, Latex, PdfTex etc. but this behavior doesn't ever change. Does maybe anybody have any idea what could be wrong?

The problem is not related to Kile. And it is not comprehensible for me because the code you provided compiles fine for me as is via LaTeX → PS → PDF (see attachment). Run LaTeX on the following minimal code and submit the file list from the log file.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{vaucanson-g}

\begin{document}
  Test
\end{document}

If you can't get it working, try the pgf/tikZ package as a possible alternative. Here is a translation of your example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{automata,positioning}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[%
    >=stealth,
    shorten >=2pt,
    auto,
    on grid,
    node distance=3cm
  ]
    \node[state,initial]   (A) {A};
    \node[state,accepting] (3) [right=of A] {3};
    \node[state]           (4) [below=of A] {4};
    \node[state,accepting] (5) [right=of 4] {5};
    \node[state]           (B) [right=of 3] {B};

    \path[->] (A) edge                node {a} (3)
              (A) edge                node {c} (5)
              (A) edge                node {b} (4)
              (3) edge [loop above]   node {a} ()
              (3) edge [bend left=15] node {c} (5)
              (5) edge [bend left=15] node {a} (3)
              (4) edge [bend left=15] node {c} (5)
              (5) edge [bend left=15] node {b} (4)
              (5) edge [loop below]   node {c} ()
              (3) edge [bend left=15] node {b} (B)
              (B) edge [bend left=15] node {a} (3)
              (B) edge                node {c} (5);
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Thank you very much for your answer! It seems that some files regarding to vaucanson-g have been misplaced. It's working now.

Kind regards
