Dear Alice,
I assumed the most recent version 1.4.1 of pgfplots in my example, but
with slight modifications, it runs under 1.3 as well:
please use
1.
\tikzexternalize{alltagsprobleme}
instead of
\tikzexternalize ,
(more precisely, you need to provide the main file name after
\tikzexternalize)
2. '-shell-escape' instead of \tikzexternalcheckshellescape
to prepare the example for version 1.3 (it worked on my installation
with pgfplots 1.3).
Alternatively, you can upgrade to pgfplots 1.4.1 .
Best regards
Christian
