Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Compilation stops after Inclusion of a Package

[justausername]

Hello everyone,

I have the following file.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics}

\begin{document}
Some text ...
\end{document}

It is not working. The log file generated is empty and when I remove the graphics package line it generates a PDF successfully and it is giving me this output.

Code: Select all

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

A remark first: better load the graphicx package, which extends the graphics package. Otherwise you may notice that some code you will see won't work, such as if key=value syntax is used in command options, supported by graphicx.

To fix the problem, look into the .log file or post it here, as attachment.

I included graphicx package, the problem is that the log file is empty when I include any package. The moment I remove the \usepackage{graphicx}, the file compiles and generates a PDF with a log file.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It could be a known issue of MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter, have a look at this topic: No output after recovering from system rebuild. Or do you use another editor?

I added \usepackage{lmodern} as shown in the link and it works! what was the problem? I am using MiKTeX 64 bit edition on Windows 7.

Thanks a lot !!
