Hi Jouni,
Thanks for your explaination.

That looks like a TeX configuration problem. I'm guessing that when TeX
encounters \documentclass{article}, it asks the path-searching library
for article.cls, and for some reason /root and /lost+found are
included in the path. You don't have permission as normal user to access
these directories, so the library causes error messages to be printed.
The path probably also includes the correct directories, so the search
eventually succeeds, but then article.cls wants to input size10.clo,
causing a new round of errors:
./root/size10.clo.tex: Permission denied
./root/size10.clo: Permission denied
(etc)
Do you know why is happens only for ps/eps-files?
Have you set any TeX-related environment variables or edited any
configuration files? What does kpsepath tex print?
in my .zshrc I set
TEXINPUTS=~/Texte/Styles//:.//:
export TEXINPUTS
and $ kpsepath tex yields
/home/michler/Texte/Styles//:.//:.:/home/michler/.texmf-config/tex/kpsewhich//:/home/michler/.texmf-var/tex/kpsewhich//:/home/michler/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:/etc/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/kpsewhich//:/home/michler/.texmf-config/tex/generic//:/home/michler/.texmf-var/tex/generic//:/home/michler/texmf/tex/generic//:/etc/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic//:/home/michler/.texmf-config/tex///:/home/michler/.texmf-var/tex///:/home/michler/texmf/tex///:/etc/texmf/tex///:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/local/share/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex///
Furthermore I did (as root):
$ cd /root$ cd /lost+found/ and $ cd /tmp/
and
$ ls **/*tex **/*.cls
but always got
ls: cannot access **/*tex: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access **/*.cls: No such file or directory
... That means there are no tex or cls-files.
Do you have any idea what's wrong?
Kind regards,
Matthias

Re: [Matplotlib-users] usetex=True and savefig(eps-file)
Hi Jouni, thanks again for your advice. I don't think that I do have 'some setting that causes temporary files to end up in the root directory, because my system is more or less kubuntu (8.04) out of the box. But maybe you are nevertheless right, because in tmp there are ./root and ./lost+found, which I am not allowed to enter. Finally this error is due to the behaviour of ps-backend and my TEX-path, which searches in all sub-directories. Thanks a lot for your time and advice to locate the root of the strange behaviour.

Hello list,
may be the last message got lost among the lots of mpl-mails. So I'd like to
ask you once more for comments. Can anyone confirm this behaviour or should
it be due to some wrong configuration on my computer?
Kind regards,
Matthias

Re: [Matplotlib-users] usetex=True and savefig(eps-file)
I can confirm that this works for me, so it is probably some sort of
configuration difference.
Can you provide the error output? It would be useful to know what
specifically it is being denied permission for.

I cannot reproduce this behavior. It looks like there is some problem
with your latex environment, not matplotlib. I suggest you ensure
latex is working properly before trying to use usetex.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] usetex=True and savefig(eps-file)
Hi Darren,
thanks for your reply. The point is that saving pdf, jpg, etc. works fine but
in case I use ps or eps I get the long error output. Therefore I expected a
problem in the ps-backend.
Kind regards,
Matthias
