--- Begin Message ---Package: whizzytex Version: 1.3.2-1.1 Severity: normal Hi, the whizzytex documentation states [1] that it enough to specify the -pdf option as it will also set the other variables to compile with pdflatex instead of latex. Here is a small test document: \documentclass{article} %; whizzy -pdf %\usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} foobar \end{document} When loading whizzytex in emacs I get the following error: /usr/lib/whizzytex/whizzytex -pdf xpdf test.tex <Initial formating failed> Removing test.aux <Retrying failed> ! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `hypertex', (hyperref) because pdfTeX or LuaTeX is running in PDF mode. The documentation also states that hyperref has to be used explicitly but even if I uncomment the according line in the above test document the error stays the same. The default dvi mode used to work perfectly. I need to use another mode than dvi because my latex document triggers advi bug#138157. I can't use xdvi instead because it flickers in high frequency during updates. I can't use ps because the gv window steals the focus from my emacs window every time a change is made to the tex document. Therefore the only remaining choice for me is to use whizzytex in pdf mode. Thanks! cheers, josch [1] http://gallium.inria.fr/whizzytex/whizzytex.html#htoc33 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.4-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages whizzytex depends on: ii advi 1.10.2-1 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii emacs23-nox [emacsen] 23.4+1-4 ii install-info 5.1.dfsg.1-3 ii tex-common 4.03 ii texlive-latex-base 2012.20120611-5 Versions of packages whizzytex recommends: ii epdfview [pdf-viewer] 0.1.8-3 ii gv [pdf-viewer] 1:3.7.3-1 ii xpdf [pdf-viewer] 3.03-10 whizzytex suggests no packages.
