I have installed texlive 2016 in my rhel 5.3
This is having only basic packages
Tikz is not installed
the file contains only usepackage tikz and document class delaration and displaying one circle thats all.
later i downloaded pgf/tikz package and copied all the files to
~/share/~
to corresponding folders
Then i have done texhash
it has compiled but and tikz is also displayed in log
but the error is
undefined control sequnce
\pgfutil@ IF file exists .....
\usepgflibrary{plothandlers}
TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ Unable to Compile tikz package
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
