What I don't understand is why I am told by my Debian system that xkeyval version 2005.dfsg.3-1 is installed and is the newest version. By the way, the package from CTAN is xkeyval v2.5f Do I need an older version (2.5)? Anybody out there who uses both debian and powerdot who could give me a hint? from Les Denham (thanks): > > Download the package: > http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/getFile.py?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval.zip > > Unzip xkeyval.zip. > > Follow the instructions in README. yes, the parts have to go to several places in the TeX-tree > > The other packages you may need to upgrade (I did) are enumitem, > graphicx-psmin, and pstricks. enumitem and graphicx-psmin are apparently not available under debian. for pstricks I have texlive-pstricks (and texlive-pdfetex and pgf) I created a directory texmf + textree in my home and put the tex- and style-files from xkeyval and enumitem (from CTAN) into it. (texhash afterward) However, the powerdot.lyx template would run only if I take the foils for emptyslide, latex and verbatim material our. What is the best way of finding out what is missing? Thanks, Wolfgang
