 [Solved] Texmaker issue: Cannot compileHi everyone!
I hope this is the rightr place to post this... I'm having a very noob, very elemental issue with texmaker. I haven't used it in a while and I'm a little rusty, so perhaps there si something I'm forgetting. The thing is I cannot compile my tex file to see it on pdf. If I click on the quick build button, it says "Could not start the command" and if I click on the View PDF (or DVI or PS) it open Okular, only with a message saying "Could not open file (path to the file)". Am I missing something? As I understand, texmaker does not need an extra program to compile pdfs... (I think I windows you need an additional software)... And I don't think it is a problem with the code, because I'm not getting any error messages at all... My documents so far looks like:
Any ideas? Thanks in advance :D _________________ Last edited by radissthor on Wed Nov 02, 2011 2:37 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: Texmaker issue: Cannot compile I don't use this, but I see that there are lots of tools available from Synaptic if you type "latex" in the search box. There is also a plugin (libreoffice-writer2latex) for LibreOffice (Writer or Calc) for automatic conversion.

Re: Texmaker issue: Cannot compile Thanks for the tip. I searched for latex on Synaptic and there are a lot of stuff. The thing is that most are tex-live and/or kile packages, and I'm using texmaker... so I don't think they could help me. I did find some packages I thought I could use (from the desacription):
latex-make writer2latex libreoffice-writter2xhtml But I'm still getting the same message "Could not start the command". _________________ |

Re: Texmaker issue: Cannot compile If you start latex from the command line, do any error messages appear when it fails to convert?
Also, maybe installing all the Recommends would help:
Ghostscript and psutils look to be related, but gs is probably already installed. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |

Re: Texmaker issue: Cannot compile After installing texlive-latex-extra & asymptote, your test file compiled just fine & I could view the resulting PDF.

Re: Texmaker issue: Cannot compile Well indeed after installing texlive-latex-extra & asymptote I was able to compile.
This is strange for me, because I thought tex-live and texmaker where different programs, and it surprises me that one needs packages from the other to function. (installing asymptote installed the tex-live packages as well). Thanks for all the help =) _________________ |
