Some time ago libertine package was divided in two packages libertine (for  
xelatex and
lualatex) and libertine-legacy (for latex and pdflatex). Now they changed  
again to
libertineotf and libertine-type1.

I had no problems compiling your document with pdflatex because I still  
have libertine-legacy
on my system. With last miktex update (26/09/12), miktex declares  
libertine-legacy obsolete
and tries to remove it (I don't know if it automatically installs new  
ones), but it failed on
my system so I still have libertine-legacy.

Probably, if you replaces libertine with libertine-type1 you will succeed.

But it did *not* fail in my case. :-(

Thanks for the suggestion, but no, it did not work. I still get the same 
error.

So I think you should fill a bug report. I had same problem this week with
confortaa fonts
and Ulrike Fisher suggested toe workaround of including
\pdfmapfile{=comfortaa.map} in my document, so try with  
\pdfmapfile{=libertine-type1.map}

I filled a bug report which was solved the same day of the last update, so
I'm not sure if it was already incorporated in last update because
I'm still obtain same error message.

Ignasi

When I just tried this, I got the simple error message:

      ! LaTeX error. File `libertine.style' not found.

So the simple question is:
     * what is libertine (what is it good for)?

Since you asked the question to MikTeX users, it seems
to me another question might be helpful:
    * have tried installing libertine.sty with MikTeX ?
    * or is it whithin your folders, but you didn't refresh the MikTeX
      FNDB (File Name Data Base) after adding libertine.sty ??


Hope this hilft.

That's because you did not install the libertine package.

It is supposed to allow a user to use the Libertine digital typeface.

Of course I did. Otherwise, I would have got the same error message that 
you got!

Hi All,

This is slightly off topic, but I wondered if any of you know where I can find 
the most recent version of GS View (was GhostView). It is a very useful 
postscript utility that I deleted from my computer for a time, but now want to 
reinstall to sort out some EPS files. I can't find it. the Wisconsin website 
where it used to be seems to have gone offline.

Thanks,

Tim Adlam

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm - I had read that it had been abandoned (4.9 was released in 2007) but there was a new release earlier this year.

That page above is the principal page, though more information can be found at http://www.ghostgum.com.au/
