General ⇒ TexnicCenter won't create file when using various packages

[lasse nørgaard hilstrøm]

Hello,

When I try to use some various packages in my document TexnicCenter don't create a file (neither a PDF or DVI). When I uses packages as:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multicol}

there is no problem getting a file output.
But when I'm adding one or more of packages like those:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{pstricks}
\usepackage{appendix}

there is created no file. (Those are just examples of packages which work or donsn't work.)

I'm using MikTex 2.8 and the latest version of TexnicCenter.
I'm pretty new to LaTeX but I've got alot help from a friend who uses it a lot. But neither my friend or me knows what goes wrong.

Hope you are able to help me with my problem.
Ask if you need to know more details or anything. As I just said, I'm new to this so I'm not 100% into all aspects of it yet.

The log file would be very helpful. And this is not really an issue related to TeXnicCenter (TXC). If you did a basic installation, you may need to install those packages subsequently. The MiKTeX system offers to install packages »on the fly«, which can be selected in the Options. But you can always install packages by using the MiKTeX Package Manager.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Oh, thanks a lot. Problem solved by manually installing packages. I just though that they was downloaded and installed automaticly first time they were used.

But again. Thanks a lot.

You can change Miktex's options so that it installs missing packages 'on-the-fly' so you don't have to worry about installing them manually.
