Remove the lines

   \input prepictex
   \input picmore
   \input postpictex


BTW., this is not a teTeX related question and a better place to ask
is the newsgroup comp.text.tex

Regards,

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.

pictex - how to get it work

[Rudolf Harney]

Hello!
I just started to get PiCTeX to work with tetex under SuSE 7.3 and I get error 
messages with the ticks in a simple sample file: Does someone know, what's wrong?

sample file:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pictex}
\input prepictex
\input picmore
\input postpictex

\begin{document}
 \beginpicture
  \setcoordinatesystem units <1.0cm,10.0cm>
  \setplotarea x from 0 to 7, y from 0 to 0.5
  \axis bottom label {$\Lambda$} ticks quantity 8 /
  \axis left label {$\chi$} ticks quantity 6   /
 \endpicture
\end{document}



error message:
! missing number, treated as zero.

 \relax
l.xx \axis bottom label {$\Lambda$} ticks
   quantity 8   /
