   I get the error message : ! LaTeX Error: File `circuitikz.sty' not found.
  
  
   Can somebody help me to get one of these things working?
  
  
  LyX *doesn't* search for these things: LaTeX does. So it appears LaTeX

 Thx for replying.
 I am on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) (for 3 months , before : windows)
 I'mworking a lot wiyh Lyx and pgf/tikz includes. Up to now, everything worked
 +/- fine.
 I dont know if I messed up with Latex... Should I restart from scratch maybe?
 And if so: how to clean? how to restart?
 
 Thx

Ubuntu 9.10 repository provides texlive-2007 .deb packages. They are old.
Installing the new texlive-2009 (it includes circuitikz) is a good thing.

Here is a quickinstall
http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html 
where you can read
- 'How to acquire the software'
(http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html e.g downloading the iso
or installing over the internet)
- 'Running the installer' or 'GUI installer' and
- 'Post-install: setting the PATH' (it's essential: see 3.4.3/3.4.4 in the
full info page http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html)

By default, the texlive-2009 bundle is installed on
/usr/local/texlive 

(There is no need of deinstalling the old .deb packages, however
they are not used anymore.)

Hey thx,
This sounds like music to me.
I had read the quickinstall already, but I get stuck on the POST-INSTALL part
What command should I give?
(I'm on Ubuntu 9.10
and whenI issue the command 'arch' he gives me the answer 'i686')

The directory of the binaries for your platform must be added to
the search path. 
Are you a single user? Then you can add the following lines

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

[in your case it will be '/i686' instead '/x86_64-linux' ;)]

in the file .bashrc of your home folder. (e.g., open with
gedit /home/your_user/.bashrc) (This is my case in Ubuntu 9.10; if it
doesn't work for you, try the .profile file)


Testing the installation: type in a terminal

  tex --version

This is my output:
$ tex --version

   kpathsea version 5.0.0

Thx very much for your help!
Just one more question (as I'm afraid to mess up):

I am about to type i (for installation) and I see in the output the following:

D directories:
   TEXDIR (the main TeX directory):
 !! default location: /usr/local/texlive/2009
 !! is not writable, please select a different one!

Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?

Happy X-mas!

You have to set your PATH appropriatelly.

which tex gives here:
/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux/tex
This path has to be _before_ the path of your standard-installed tex (which is 
/usr/bin in your case)

Anything's possible. Why not investigate, starting with this command at the 
command prompt:

locate tex | grep /tex$

Try running each of them, find out which you want, and then strongarm LyX to 
specify that one.

Here's the output of that command on my machine:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ locate tex | grep /tex$
/etc/texmf/tex
/home/slitt/junk/lyx-1.5.4/lib/tex
/usr/bin/tex
/usr/share/lire/tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex
/var/lib/texmf/tex
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$


Probably most of those aren't executables, but it's quick enough to check.

Another handy tool is the which command:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ which tex
/usr/bin/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$
===

The preceding shows the first executable tex encountered on my executable path 
($PATH).

I've lost track of what we're trying to install, but I take it that you 
were trying to install some updated version of tex-live? I wouldn't 
recommend that, either, unless (a) you know what you are doing or (b) 
you can install it via the Ubuntu package manager.


If I remember right, the issue was just installing a LaTeX package, not 
upgrading the whole LaTeX installation. So my suggestion would be to 
forget about upgrading TeX itself and just to install the package. I've 
just done this myself and so have found out what at least one of the 
problems is.


Here are the steps to follow.

  1. Download CircuiTikz to /tmp:
 [rgh...@rghquad ~]$ cd /tmp
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ wget
 http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/downloads/circuitikz.zip
  2. Make sure it is there:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ ls circuitikz.zip
 circuitikz.zip
  3. We now want to figure out where to put this thing. So run locate
 /latex.ltx as a way of finding out where your base TeX
 installation is. I see:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ locate /latex.ltx
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx
 This tells me that my main TeX tree is at /usr/share/texmf/. Yours
 may be elsewhere. We want the part before tex/latex/
 NOTE: Please see below. This is by far not the best way for us to
 proceed, but it will at least work.
  4. If you see more than one such file, then I think you still have
 multiple TeX installations, which is going to confuse everything.
 Get rid of one of them.
  5. Go to your local TeX tree:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ cd /usr/share/texmf
  6. Now, per the directions here:
http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/download.html
 we are going to unpack the distribution file in our texmf
 directory---though not the local one, since we are trying to keep
 this simple. We have to do this as root. So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo unzip /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 [sudo] password for rgheck:
 Archive:  /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 creating: doc/latex/circuitikz/
 creating: tex/latex/circuitikz/
inflating: doc/latex/circuitikz/README
inflating: doc/latex/circuitikz/CHANGELOG~

inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircbipoles.sty
inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircutils.sty
  7. There's a permission problem in the archive that we need to fix.
 You can see it here:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ ls -l tex/latex/circuitikz/
 total 160
 -rwx-- 1 root root 28768 2009-05-20 11:26 circuitikz.sty
 ...
 The main circuitikz.sty file is not readable by normal users! So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo chmod 644
 tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty
  8. Update the TeX databases:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo texhash
 texhash: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Done.
  9. Check the results:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ kpsewhich circuitikz.sty
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty

The permissions problem may also have been part of the issue before. 
I've written the developer about it.


Now, regarding the note above, it isn't really a good idea for us to 
install our package into the main TeX tree. The reason is that an 
upgrade of TeX could overwrite all of this, and then we'd lose the 
package. This is why TeX provides several different trees where we can 
put our files. There are usually three of these, and their locations are 
(almost always) defined in the file texmf.cnf. Let's look at it:


[rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ less `locate texmf.cnf`

 This sounds like music to me.
 I had read the quickinstall already, but I get stuck on the POST-INSTALL part
 What command should I give?
 (I'm on Ubuntu 9.10
 and whenI issue the command 'arch' he gives me the answer 'i686')
 

The directory of the binaries for your platform must be added to
the search path. 
Are you a single user? Then you can add the following lines

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

[in your case it will be '/i686' instead '/x86_64-linux' ;)]

in the file .bashrc of your home folder. (e.g., open with
gedit /home/your_user/.bashrc) (This is my case in Ubuntu 9.10; if it
doesn't work for you, try the .profile file)


Testing the installation: type in a terminal

  tex --version

This is my output:
$ tex --version

Thx very much for your help!
Just one more question (as I'm afraid to mess up):

I am about to type i (for installation) and I see in the output the following:

D directories:
   TEXDIR (the main TeX directory):
 !! default location: /usr/local/texlive/2009
 !! is not writable, please select a different one!

Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?

Happy X-mas!

Yes, you must create the directory, but /usr/local is not writable by users.
Then root must create the directory and then change the permissions.

Graphical? Type in terminal:
sudo nautilus
Go to the /usr/local , Create folder and name it texlive
Then do right click on the created and 
Properties  Permission and change Owner and Group by your user name.

You have to set your PATH appropriatelly.

which tex gives here:
/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux/tex
This path has to be _before_ the path of your standard-installed tex (which is 
/usr/bin in your case)

Anything's possible. Why not investigate, starting with this command at the 
command prompt:

locate tex | grep /tex$

Try running each of them, find out which you want, and then strongarm LyX to 
specify that one.

Here's the output of that command on my machine:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ locate tex | grep /tex$
/etc/texmf/tex
/home/slitt/junk/lyx-1.5.4/lib/tex
/usr/bin/tex
/usr/share/lire/tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex
/var/lib/texmf/tex
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$


Probably most of those aren't executables, but it's quick enough to check.

Another handy tool is the which command:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ which tex
/usr/bin/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$
===

The preceding shows the first executable tex encountered on my executable path 
($PATH).

I've lost track of what we're trying to install, but I take it that you 
were trying to install some updated version of tex-live? I wouldn't 
recommend that, either, unless (a) you know what you are doing or (b) 
you can install it via the Ubuntu package manager.


If I remember right, the issue was just installing a LaTeX package, not 
upgrading the whole LaTeX installation. So my suggestion would be to 
forget about upgrading TeX itself and just to install the package. I've 
just done this myself and so have found out what at least one of the 
problems is.


Here are the steps to follow.

  1. Download CircuiTikz to /tmp:
 [rgh...@rghquad ~]$ cd /tmp
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ wget
 http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/downloads/circuitikz.zip
  2. Make sure it is there:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ ls circuitikz.zip
 circuitikz.zip
  3. We now want to figure out where to put this thing. So run locate
 /latex.ltx as a way of finding out where your base TeX
 installation is. I see:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ locate /latex.ltx
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx
 This tells me that my main TeX tree is at /usr/share/texmf/. Yours
 may be elsewhere. We want the part before tex/latex/
 NOTE: Please see below. This is by far not the best way for us to
 proceed, but it will at least work.
  4. If you see more than one such file, then I think you still have
 multiple TeX installations, which is going to confuse everything.
 Get rid of one of them.
  5. Go to your local TeX tree:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ cd /usr/share/texmf
  6. Now, per the directions here:
http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/download.html
 we are going to unpack the distribution file in our texmf
 directory---though not the local one, since we are trying to keep
 this simple. We have to do this as root. So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo unzip /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 [sudo] password for rgheck:
 Archive:  /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 creating: doc/latex/circuitikz/
 creating: tex/latex/circuitikz/
inflating: doc/latex/circuitikz/README

inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircbipoles.sty
inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircutils.sty
  7. There's a permission problem in the archive that we need to fix.
 You can see it here:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ ls -l tex/latex/circuitikz/
 total 160
 -rwx-- 1 root root 28768 2009-05-20 11:26 circuitikz.sty
 ...
 The main circuitikz.sty file is not readable by normal users! So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo chmod 644
 tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty
  8. Update the TeX databases:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo texhash
 texhash: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Done.
  9. Check the results:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ kpsewhich circuitikz.sty
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty

The permissions problem may also have been part of the issue before. 
I've written the developer about it.


Now, regarding the note above, it isn't really a good idea for us to 
install our package into the main TeX tree. The reason is that an 
upgrade of TeX could overwrite all of this, and then we'd lose the 
package. This is why TeX provides several different trees where we can 
put our files. There are usually three of these, and their locations are 
(almost always) defined in the file texmf.cnf. Let's look at it:


[rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ less `locate texmf.cnf`

Ubuntu 9.10 repository provides texlive-2007 .deb packages. They are old.
Installing the new texlive-2009 (it includes circuitikz) is a good thing.

Here is a quickinstall
http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html 
where you can read
- 'How to acquire the software'
(http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html e.g downloading the iso
or installing over the internet)
- 'Running the installer' or 'GUI installer' and
- 'Post-install: setting the PATH' (it's essential: see 3.4.3/3.4.4 in the
full info page http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html)

By default, the texlive-2009 bundle is installed on
/usr/local/texlive 

(There is no need of deinstalling the old .deb packages, however
they are not used anymore.)

Hey thx,
This sounds like music to me.
I had read the quickinstall already, but I get stuck on the POST-INSTALL part
What command should I give?
(I'm on Ubuntu 9.10
and whenI issue the command 'arch' he gives me the answer 'i686')

Thx for reading & replying.

The directory of the binaries for your platform must be added to
the search path. 
Are you a single user? Then you can add the following lines

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

[in your case it will be '/i686' instead '/x86_64-linux' ;)]

in the file .bashrc of your home folder. (e.g., open with
gedit /home/your_user/.bashrc) (This is my case in Ubuntu 9.10; if it
doesn't work for you, try the .profile file)


Testing the installation: type in a terminal

  tex --version

This is my output:
$ tex --version
   TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009)
   kpathsea version 5.0.0
   Copyright 2009 D.E. Knuth.
   ...
   Primary author of TeX: D.E. Knuth.

Now all is OK, hope!

Thx very much for your help!
Just one more question (as I'm afraid to mess up):

I am about to type i (for installation) and I see in the output the following:

 directories:
   TEXDIR (the main TeX directory):
 !! default location: /usr/local/texlive/2009
 !! is not writable, please select a different one!

Should I first create this directory (it isn't there yet) or will the install
program to that for me?

Happy X-mas!

Yes, you must create the directory, but /usr/local is not writable by users.
Then root must create the directory and then change the permissions.

Graphical? Type in terminal:
sudo nautilus
Go to the /usr/local , Create folder and name it texlive

Sigh,
I'm almost desperate.

I followed all your instructions. He told me that installation was done. I
changed PATHS. And this is what I get:

Do I have two versions now and is he choosing the wrong one?

You have to set your PATH appropriatelly.

"which tex" gives here:
/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux/tex
This path has to be _before_ the path of your standard-installed tex (which is 
/usr/bin in your case)

Anything's possible. Why not investigate, starting with this command at the 
command prompt:

locate tex | grep /tex$

Try running each of them, find out which you want, and then strongarm LyX to 
specify that one.

Here's the output of that command on my machine:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ locate tex | grep /tex$
/etc/texmf/tex
/home/slitt/junk/lyx-1.5.4/lib/tex
/usr/bin/tex
/usr/share/lire/tex
/usr/share/texmf/tex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex
/var/lib/texmf/tex
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$


Probably most of those aren't executables, but it's quick enough to check.

Another handy tool is the which command:

===
sl...@mydesk:~$ which tex
/usr/bin/tex
sl...@mydesk:~$
===

The preceding shows the first executable tex encountered on my executable path 
($PATH).

which tex gives:

But the directory in which I installed texlive2009 is:
/usr/local/texlive 
/usr/local/texlive/2009

I must be completely ignorant, but I dont know how to set this right.

OK. Then how do I force the install program to another directory? Can I use any
directory name? Will Lyx find it there? I'm getting a bit confused here.

I've lost track of what we're trying to install, but I take it that you 
were trying to install some updated version of tex-live? I wouldn't 
recommend that, either, unless (a) you know what you are doing or (b) 
you can install it via the Ubuntu package manager.


If I remember right, the issue was just installing a LaTeX package, not 
upgrading the whole LaTeX installation. So my suggestion would be to 
forget about upgrading TeX itself and just to install the package. I've 
just done this myself and so have found out what at least one of the 
problems is.


Here are the steps to follow.

  1. Download CircuiTikz to /tmp:
 [rgh...@rghquad ~]$ cd /tmp
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ wget
 http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/downloads/circuitikz.zip
  2. Make sure it is there:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ ls circuitikz.zip
 circuitikz.zip
  3. We now want to figure out where to put this thing. So run "locate
 /latex.ltx" as a way of finding out where your base TeX
 installation is. I see:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ locate /latex.ltx
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx
 This tells me that my main TeX tree is at /usr/share/texmf/. Yours
 may be elsewhere. We want the part before "tex/latex/...".
 NOTE: Please see below. This is by far not the best way for us to
 proceed, but it will at least work.
  4. If you see more than one such file, then I think you still have
 multiple TeX installations, which is going to confuse everything.
 Get rid of one of them.
  5. Go to your local TeX tree:
 [rgh...@rghquad tmp]$ cd /usr/share/texmf
  6. Now, per the directions here:
http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/download.html
 we are going to unpack the distribution file in our texmf
 directory---though not the local one, since we are trying to keep
 this simple. We have to do this as root. So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo unzip /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 [sudo] password for rgheck:
 Archive:  /tmp/circuitikz.zip
 creating: doc/latex/circuitikz/
 creating: tex/latex/circuitikz/
inflating: doc/latex/circuitikz/README

inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcirccurrent.sty
inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircbipoles.sty
inflating: tex/latex/circuitikz/pgfcircutils.sty
  7. There's a permission problem in the archive that we need to fix.
 You can see it here:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ ls -l tex/latex/circuitikz/
 total 160
 -rwx-- 1 root root 28768 2009-05-20 11:26 circuitikz.sty
 ...
 The main circuitikz.sty file is not readable by normal users! So:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo chmod 644
 tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty
  8. Update the TeX databases:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ sudo texhash
 texhash: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R...
 texhash: Done.
  9. Check the results:
 [rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ kpsewhich circuitikz.sty
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty

The permissions problem may also have been part of the issue before. 
I've written the developer about it.


Now, regarding the note above, it isn't really a good idea for us to 
install our package into the main TeX tree. The reason is that an 
upgrade of TeX could overwrite all of this, and then we'd lose the 
package. This is why TeX provides several different trees where we can 
put our files. There are usually three of these, and their locations are 
(almost always) defined in the file texmf.cnf. Let's look at it:


[rgh...@rghquad texmf]$ less `locate texmf.cnf`

You have the line
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i686:$PATH; export PATH
in your /home/peter/.bashrc. OK?

This being right, you should get something as:

i...@igndesk:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/x86_64-linux:/usr/local/sbin:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

The *first* path is the local one.

I am on the same system and using tlmgr. Your desired package is also installed.

You need a good internet connection

1.) Get install-tl-unx.tar.gz ( ~ 1.5MB)
2.) unpack it
3.) create a directory /usr/local/texlive
4.) I for one changed here the user of  /usr/local/texlive to be myself, so as 
to not be forced to
 change to be a root-user when installing or updating
5.) cd install-tl-*

Should not be necessary. Assure the file circuitikz.sty is in a directory 
where LaTeX can find it (usually a path ending up in 
texmf/tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty) and then run texhash in a

If kpsewhich circuitikz.sty returns the correct path, you were successful.

Hi,

1. Trying to install circuitikz
http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/index.html
to make electrical circuits in Lyx.

I get the error message : ! LaTeX Error: File `circuitikz.sty' not found.


2.  Trying to compile the example

  begin{tikzpicture}[circuit ee IEC]
   \draw (0,1) to [resistor] (3.5,1);
   \draw[circuit symbol unit=14pt]
 (0,0) to [resistor] (3.5,0);
\end{tikzpicture}

I get the error message :
! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/circuit ee IEC' and I am
and so on.

If I include various tikzlibraries in my preamble , Lyx doesn't find them

Can somebody help me to get one of these things working?

   
LyX *doesn't* search for these things: LaTeX does. So it appears LaTeX 
is not finding these files. What platform are you on, etc? Did you do 
what needs doing for installing the LaTeX package?

Then the installation to LaTeX was not successful. When you are on Windows, use the MiKTeX package 
manager to install ciruitikz. When you are using TeXLive 2008 or newer use the TeXLive package manager.
