Texmaker won't compile?

Post by eiger3970 »

Hi,
I have compiled several files now, however I have just copied a working tex file and made a new Texmaker file and pasted the code.

When I press F1, I receive error Log File not found !

I tried:
$ sudo apt-get remove texmaker.
$ sudo apt-get install texmaker.

Same issue.
Any suggestions?

Did you save the file explicitely with the file ending tex?

Do you have texlive installed?
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Thank you for the reply.
Not sure how to save the file explicitly? I have saved the file the normal way with Texmaker > File > Save > Enter.

I don't think I have texlive?
I have Texmaker 4.0.3.
I have compiled Texmaker.tex files and output .pdf files, but now the usual button doesn't compile or make a pdf?
