General ⇒ LaTeX Error: File 'vgtc.cls' not found

[SuzuBell]

I am trying to convert a .Rnw file into .pdf. I get an error:

Code: Select all

Line 7: LaTeX Error: File 'vgtc.cls' not found

Line 7 is the blank line below:

Code: Select all

% !TeX program = pdfLaTeX
\documentclass[journal]{vgtc}                % final (journal style)
%\documentclass[review,journal]{vgtc}         % review (journal style)
% \documentclass[widereview]{vgtc}             % wide-spaced review
%\documentclass[preprint,journal]{vgtc}       % preprint (journal style)
%\documentclass[electronic,journal]{vgtc}     % electronic version, journal

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{times}

I saw other posts on the topic, and believe my syntax is correct. I am not sure what could cause this problem? thanks for any advice.

Hi SuzuBell,

welcome to the forum!

The syntax is fine. You just need to install the document class file. Download the file vgtc.cls from the publisher's website, install it or at least put it into the same folder as your main document.

Or change the class vgtc to a standard class, such as article.

Thank you so much, Stefan!
