relative links to external files

Post by gatoatigrado »

I have a presentation (beamer package) which I want to put on another computer (so I can't use absolute paths) with some external files. I want to do something like

Code: Select all

\href{./audio/byar.ogg}{\beamergotobutton{play}}
but the relative URI's don't seem to resolve correctly (I tried kpdf and acroread).

thanks in advance,
Nicholas

Code: Select all
