Problem moving texworks from one computer to another.

Post by Kiri »

Hello there

I'm new here, so I apologize for doing anything wrong, if I did it.

I'm using Texworks with texlive 2009, and I just moved it from one computer to another. I think I have moved everything and updated all the settings, I need, but I still have a problem. When I try to compile an existing document, I get the following "console output":

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 2009)
Aflevering 1.tex: No such file or directory
entering extended mode
pdflatex.exe:


And then no more. It doesn't compile or anything else. I have the exact same document on the other computer, and there it works.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Welcome.

It seems like the file Aflevering 1.tex is not found. One reason could be the space within the filename. Those spaces are evil.

TeX Live 2009? This is quite old. Have you thought about updating?
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 your answer.

Yes, I have thought about updating, but I'm pretty sure I can't do it myself without any help. And I don't know where to start. So I have been pushing it in front of me for a while.

And about my problem. It worked before with the space, so it seems odd, that it wouldn't do it anymore. Anyway, my problem solved itself, somehow. I haven't touched it since I wrote, but today it just works. Strange. Maybe it has something to do with the 130 updates I had to my Windows a couple of days ago...
