Hi Jin, I think you have forgotten to define the ps dependency, texrc: " Uncomment this line if you compile ps files via dvi files. " TexLet g:Tex_FormatDependency_ps = 'dvi,ps'
so add let g:Tex_FormatDependency_ps='dvi,ps' to your vimrc. Than the program can complete the chain dvi,ps,pdf cheers, Dennis Jin Chen wrote: > Dear Dennis, > > I appreciate your responsive reply!
