Hello everyone,
has anyone ever tried to insert an A3 page within an A4 document?
I found it mentioned on a LaTex site, where they suggest to use
\usepackage{gmeometric}. This theoretically enables to use the
\geometry command within the document. Apparently it needs another
package called "gmutils" as well.
Anyway, I saved the style files somewhere under
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and got Lyx to recognize them (they appear
under Tools > TEX information). Then I added the corresponding
\usepackage commands in the preamble.
However, when I try to run it now I get the following error message:
LaTeX Error: File `gmutils.sty' not found.
\usepackage
{gmeometric}^^M
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Not immediately, but I'll give you my standard advice: Export to LaTeX
and compile the document manually. You may get a bit more information
that way. It's also possible that there's something about the order in
which these packages must be loaded that you are (or LyX is) not getting
right.
Also, try "kpsewhich gmutils.sty" from a terminal, and make sure LaTeX
sees it. If it doesn't, you may need to run texhash again.
Also, from the installation instructions for gmutils:
3. Installation
Unpack the gmutils-tds.zip archive in some texmf directory or put the
gmutils.sty somewhere in the texmf/tex/latex branch on your
own. (Creating a /texmf/tex/latex/gm directory may be advisable if you
consider using other packages written by me.)
Then you should refresh your TeX distribution's files'
database most probably.
It may be that something expects this file to be in /texmf/tex/latex/gm/.
