pictex - how to get it work
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.
to be read again
\relax
l.xx \axis bottom label {$\Lambda$} ticks
quantity 8 /

fmtutil.cnf not found !
I'm running under linux debian 3.0 unstable with 2.4.19 kernel. I try to install latex with apt. I seem to have all the required packages. The file exists : # locate fmtutil.cnf /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf /usr/share/man/man5/fmtutil.cnf.5.gz /usr/TeX/texmf-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /usr/TeX/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf There is a problem with tetex-extra Sorry, tetex-extra is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Setting up tetex-extra (1.0.2+20011202-3) ... texhash: Done. Running initex for missing formats. This may take some time. ... fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. dpkg: error processing tetex-extra (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: tetex-extra E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Where is the solution ? Everybody I know have succeeded without this problem ! Is it relative to unstable distribution ? Thanks. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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, Reinhard -- Reinhard Kotucha Phone: +49-511-27060390 Marschnerstr. 25 D-30167 Hannover mailto:reinhard;kammer.uni-hannover.de Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
