General ⇒ Trouble with graphicx package

[geezer]

Hello,
I started working with LaTeX and I've encountered no major problems until I tried to use the package graphicx. Here is a short example to show you what I mean:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
hurra
\end{document}

When I compile it, there is no error message, but it doesn't create a pdf File either (same happens when I write \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}). So when I try to view it with my Acrobat Reader, there always is an error message. The odd thing is that if I slightly change my previous code (e.g. remove the line with graphicx)

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
hurra

\end{document}

the whole thing suddenly works. Does anyone know what's going on here and how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

I cannot reproduce the problem. Please, run latex on your document with graphicx enabled and post here the content of the .log file.

Hi meho_r
thanks a lot for your time, I tried to run the file with TexWorks instead of Texnic Center and the programm told me the package was missing and automatically installed it. Since Texnic Center never told me that, I didn't know which packages were missing (I only installed the Basic Version, so I guess graphicx was not included). So my problem is solved now

This is a well known problem with TXC1 RC1 and MiKTeX [1]. Another solution could be to try TXC2 alpha 3 if you want to stay with TeXnicCenter.
