THanks for your message.
I'm now convinced that the problem is not the long \bibliography line,
but rather the fact that I have more than 4000 bibliography
items combined. So merging the file does not help.
Any salvage?

Good day,

Let us suppose that I have a file myfile.tex in witch I have used the pac=
kage
HYPERREF.STY to have Hyper reference, and the package  PSFRAG.STY. Then
I make 'latex myfile'. Then if I make 'dvips myfile' and then 'ps2pdf myf=
ile.ps'
I obtain the application of psfrag with out the application of hyperref.
If I make 'dvipdfm myfile' I obtain the inverse: the application of hyper=
ref
with out the application of psfrag. How could I do to obtain the applicat=
ion
of both hyperref and psfrag in myfile.pdf?

Thanks.
Best regards.

Hello,
	I have just installed MiKTEX in a system with Windows 200 and I am trying
to make it show greek letters in DVI viwer. It shows greek letters but not
the letters I have typed in .tex file. I suppose that this happens because
the greek characters are in different positions in greek font of tex
comparing to that of Windows.
	Can someone help? Possibly there is some way to map characters of these two
fonts somehow?

Dear List Members!

I have two problems with figures.

1. I use Miktex 2.2 under Windows XP=20
Professional operating system. The exe files=20
needed for gif files -- ppmtobmp.exe and=20
giftopnm.exe -- are all in the=20
      ...\miktex\bin=20
directory. In spite of that I am always getting
the error message

 cannot convert ... gif into a Windows Bitmap file

if I prewiev the file:


\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}%
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.wmf}{bmp}{}{}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.gif}{bmp}{}{}
\begin{document}

The first gif figure.

\includegraphics[natheight=3D0.520600in,
natwidth=3D3.125400in, height=3D0.5483in,
width=3D3.1531in ]%
{hnh-logo3.gif}%

The second one.

\includegraphics[natheight=3D0.625300in,
natwidth=3D4.875000in, height=3D0.6529in,
width=3D4.9026in]%
{drawing-sep01-468.gif}

\end{document}

On the contrary, if I preview the same
file under Miktex 2.1 or 2.0 everything
is OK. (I use Miktex 2.0 under Win98 sp1
at home and Miktex 2.1 under Win98 SE at
the department.)=20

I have observed that the sizes of the files
             giftopnm.exe
are different under Miktex 2.1 and 2.2.

2. Is there a way to make a pdf file from a=20
LaTeX document if the figures are all wmf files
(without converting them one by one into eps=20
files etc.)? If yes what should I do?

Thank you for any advice in advance.

With kindest regards

If that's what you did, you shouldn't have done so! Read the
MikTeX/musixTeX installation instructions in

http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/musixtex/musixwin.pdf

on why that's not such a good idea, and how to do it better.

Good evening to the whole list members !

I have some basic problems in installing MiKTeX system on a notebook runing 
MS Windows 2000 Professional. I don't understand if this problem are related 
only to MiKTeX Setup wizard or to my OS.
I've downloaded the MiKTeX packages and saved them on a CD-R. From this 
package repository i'have installed MiKTeX system on a PC Pentium IV running 
MS Windows 2000 Professional.
When I copy the package repository directory to a directory in the file 
system of the notebook and I try to install form it, the Wizard tells me at 
a certain step "C:\Downloads\MikTeX-.2.2\ does not seem to be a local 
package repository2 even though in that folder there are the packages and 
the setup.exe self-extracting file.
Could someone tell me why the Wizard doesn't recognize the folder as a 
package repository system while it contains all the files for installation ?
Thank to all.
Bye.

Because it doesn't contain *all* the files. If you had used the 
getpr.bat[1] script to download, you would have gotten all the files...

This is one of the most FAQs on this mailing list and in the MiKTeX 
forums. Being from academia, I would expect you to do some research 
*before* you post. The MiKTeX search page is an excellent starting 
point: 
  http://www.miktex.org/search.html
Using "local package repository" as keywords, I find for example:

From: Baburaj A. Puthenveettil <apbabu@me...> - 2003-08-01 12:32

Dear friends,

1.Which is the best way to make miktex find graphics files (say eps) from 
another directory than the directory where the tex file is located.

I tried \graphicspath in the tex file. WORKS FINE


I tried making miktex search the file by modifying graphics path in 
miktex.ini to

GraphicsPath=.;%R\dvips//;%R\pdftex//;%R\tex//;e:\users\babu//;

this doesnt work . 

Am I doing something wrong. I know that I need to create my own .ini file
where I could put all my search paths. I was trying this as a first step
towards that. How exactly is it possible each user of XP to have seperate
figure search path, like in TEXINPUTS of linux.



2. The miktex documentation gives the following for including tif files 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{bmp}{}{}
\begin{document}
Testing TIFF inclusion...\\
\includegraphics[width=3.41in,height=0.78in]{miktex-logo.tif}\\
\end{document}

which works fine. I am puzzled as to why there is no need for figure 
environment in the above code. 

Is it possible to do the same for jpeg images. ? I understand that it is 
related to graphics conversion rules given in miktex.ini. There doesnt 
seem to be any jpeg option there. Please do enlighten me!
bye

Baburaj

I have had no problems using this method to alter the inputdirs variable.
Is your problem with miktex or with dvips?  Each has a separate setting of 
GraphicsPath in my version of miktex.  Also, I have succeeded in getting
graphics from a central location (the effect I assume you're looking for) by 
altering the inputdirs variable for miktex (or perhaps is was tex).

> 2. The miktex documentation gives the following for including tif files 
[snip]

The figure environment is really the declaration of a section of latex code as 
belonging inside a floating object of type "figure".  You can put anything 
inside a figure environment and it will float together as you would expect a 
figure to.  Graphics inclusion and figure environments do not require one another.

I dunno about this one.  I don't use jpegs except when I plan to use
pdflatex.

Google knows :-)

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=BibTeX+buffer+size+4000

In short, some possibilities:
(i) you have got a field somewhere in an entry (e.g. an 'abstract' 
field) that holds more than 4k of text, in this case, shorten it
(ii) you converted the file from unix or mac, so something went wrong 
with the line endings. In this case, the whole bibtex file gets read 
as one big line, of course exceeding 4k.

Just to mention, the 4k is the _line buffer_ limit, I don't think 4 kb 
is a meager buffer size for one line of text...

If these suggestions don't help, search some more on google.groups.

Wald

[MiKTeX] BibTeX question: many bib files

From: Erez Lapid <erezla@ma...> - 2003-10-15 10:19

Hello,

I've posted a question yesterday. With the kind help
of Arnout Standaert I understand that the question
was not posed accurately.
My problem is the following. I have many *.bib files (about 200)
and I want BibTeX to read thru all of them.
So I include a long \bibliography line
(I tried to separate it into two lines, but it won't accept it).
This line is physically less than 2K but when BibTeX is processed
it shouts
Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 4000

If anybody has a good solution for that it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

	E.L.

This is probably the solution you wanted to avoid, but what about
concatenating the 200 bib files into one single bib file (or a few grouped
however might be convenient)?

It would be easy to write a batch file to do this under DOS and thus you
could still keep and maintain your large number of seperate bib files, but
after every alteration you would have to remeber to launch the concatenating
batch file (with WinEdt or the like this could become essentially
automatic).  Note that only the first time you create the new consolidated
version would you need to run the filename database update.

Cheers,  Philip G. Ratcliffe

THanks for your message.
I'm now convinced that the problem is not the long \bibliography line,
but rather the fact that I have more than 4000 bibliography
items combined. So merging the file does not help.
Any salvage?

Try bibtex8; it's a "bigger" version.  For info see the readme in the doc
directory.

Philip - that was a good advice - bon courage as we say in Hebrew !

Some people are hard to satisfy though...
How do I use bibtex8 instead of bibtex in the Texify command?
(Right now I just interchanged the .exe files of the two - but
this is sleazy. Is there something less barbaric?)

Set the BIBTEX environment variable to the location of bibtex8.

Hello pallavigokhale@...,


that means that you must have in your local repository
folder the files : readme.txt, miktex-zzdb1.cab and
miktex-zzdb2.cab. That's the secret (as far as I know not
stated in the miktex installation instructions). In fact I
have a local folder for miktex small package and another for
the additional packages I usually need, and all runs fine
when you have those files in both directories.

Happy Miktexing

You didn't download *all* the files. Search for "local package repository"

Maybe the most easy way is:

\begin{itemize}
\item[a)]  first item

Re: [MiKTeX] fancy enumeration (was: (no subject))

From: Eric Schechter <eric.schechter@va...> - 2004-06-22 22:29

An easier method is with the "enumerate" package.  For instance, try 
this file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[a)]
\item first item
\item second item
\item third item
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

I believe enumerate is part of the "tools" that is standard on most
latex installations, so it may already be present in your system
-- i.e., you might not need to download or install anything to use it.
Just try latexing the file above, and see what happens.
For more information about this and related packages, see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=enumerate

As far as I know, PayPal is the only way to contribute to MiKTeX.
You could contact PayPal and make them support Indonesia:

From: Dr Stefan Ploch <ploch@la...> - 2005-06-07 13:05

Dear all,

First let me apologize if this problem has been dealt with before; our
server is being spammed a lot and so I am being timed-out when trying
to have a look for my problem on the MikTeX archive
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=3Dmiktex-users).

1. This problem did not occur in MikTeX 2.1.

2. When I add directories and files within my localtexmf and then
update MikTex (by going to |MikTeX Options -> General -> Refresh
Now|), LaTeX won't find any files that are not in the same directory
as the tex document.

3. I've also tried |initexmf --update-fndb| in a DOS window (command
prompt). No success. I still have to put all sorts of useful files
(containing \newcommand commands and other stuff which I refer to in
my LaTeX file by using the \input command) in the same folder that the
tex file is in.

The problem is that this way I have to copy these files into each and
every folder in which a tex file is that makes use of these files.

So, how can I let MikTeX know about my additional files? And why did
this problem not occur with MikTeX 2.1?

BTW, if I go to MikTeX Options -> Languages, and click 'greek', then I
update and go back to Languages, 'greek' is unclicked again. Any
work-arounds?

Stefan

Are the root directories set correctly and declared as local? To 
check this, open the MikTeX Options -> 'Root' Tab; there should
the texmf and localtexmf path be set, and the localtexmf declared
as local.

I couldn't reproduce this, but it may solved by first 'apply' the 
Selection of Greek before leaving the 'Languages' tab?

You should *not* compile your private documents inside the localtexmf
tree. The localtexmf tree is not a scratch area, but for latex
packages that doesn't come with MiKTeX, packages you have written
yourself and generated files (fonts, etc).

If you actually have written a LaTeX package and want to put it in the
localtexmf tree, you must follow TDS <http://tds.tug.org/tds>, i.e.,
localtexmf\tex\latex\yourpackagedir\yourpackage.sty

This is a FAQ by the way:

Yes, I think so too - click apply before moving on.

I don't think so. (Have you tried?) As long as you in your browser can
access the mirror, MiKTeX should also be able to do it.

Re: [MiKTeX] proxy and getting packages on the fly

From: <dario.perez@gm...> - 2005-10-06 11:34

In my university most ports are blocked, including the ftp,
nevertheless I can download the packages on the fly. As Hans said, if
you can browse you can update the packages.

After installing there should some "MikTeX Options" icons in your
windows menu. You could copy those to your desktop if that is what you
want.

I have the feeling, however, that what you seem to be missing is some
"program" or "editor" where to type your LaTeX documents. MiKTeX only
provides the "typesetting system" which turns .tex files into
beautiful .ps or .pdf, but it contains no editor itself.

I could recomend you to try TeXnicCenter, which is an editor that
integrates nicely with MiKTeX. Use Google to find it.

When I started with MikTeX, I had the same problem: I had not understood 
that MikTeX is NOT a program, but a data base ! The programs are in

                     \texmf\miktex\bin
,
where \texmf is either in the root of your directory or whereever you 
have decided to put the texmf tree during installation.

So you need a batch (command line) program such as
                   \texmf\miktex\bin\latex foo.tex 
,

STARTED FROM THE subdirectory in which your source foo.tex 
resides.

You can create such a batch (and put it on you desktop, e.g.) whichever 
way you please. Of course, simply typing

                          latex foo

works only if you have made sure that \texmf\miktex\bin is in your 
(WINDOWS) search path.

This is, of course, the raw, pedestrian way to proceed; but it's best if 
you want to understand what's going on. At the end of the day, you will 
want to somehow merge your call to whatever ASCII text editor you plan 
to use, with the mikTeX call of Tex/LaTex, a viewer, printer and all 
that.

There is a myraid of possiblities to do that; but in order to avoid 
starting a major war, I will refrain from even talking about that. If you 
tell me privately what your favorite way of dealing with such issues is, 
I can give you more help (privately).

pdfTeX can't handle GIF images, but pdfanim does what you want:

You can include MPEG movies in PDF using pdf(La)Tex and for example
the movie15 package. (This is on platforms where Adobe Reader supports
this - last time I checked Windows only.)

I need some help to install some ttf fonts in Miktex 2.5.

I wonder if, and how, I can use MTFI to perform the font install, and
additionally get these fonts correctly installed as type 1 in pdf documen=
ts
rather than as type 3 ? (as some earlier posts suggest that MTFI do becau=
se
of some glitches in the install process seemingly).

I see that the directory structure of Miktex 2.5 has changed since Miktex
2.4. What directory should I give to MTFI ? Is it necessary to manually
finalize the install to have type 1 installed rather than type 3 ?


TIA,
Jacques.

Dear all,

We are using MiKTeX 2.7 and ConTeXt and we are experiencing a bug during
the interaction of ConTeXt and metapost.  Namely, the wrapper script
texexec ends the run by noting the following error: 

  mpost: Invalid command-line option

Compiling with mpost directly the (on the fly created)
jobname-mpgraph.mp file works properly.  This bug seems to have slept
into
2.7 after the fix of the ConTeXt package some weeks ago...

Is this a known bug? Below is a minimal sample file with which the bug
occurs. Is there an easy fix?

Thanks for your help,
Olivier

Hello,

I recently installed MikTex 2.8.

I have a few .sty files that I wrote and I have been using them with previous versions of MikeTex.

I used to put them in a certain directory and then Refresh and Update MikeTex.

After doing this when I run pdflatex I get the following message: "LaTex Error: `oh_bt_htx.sty' not found."

Question: How do I get LaTex to find an .sty file that I have written?

Cheers,

I don't have MiKTeX 2.8 (only 2.7) but it seems than, at that address :

I would first rename the folder to c:\localtexmf or c:\LocalTexFiles 
without spaces

Then inside the folder your .sty files should be in a folder:
c:\localtexmf\tex\latex\personal

What is important is the beginning c:\localtexmf\tex\latex to be 
TDS-compliant

See for example:

Dear all,

I am new to Miktex 2.8. Previously I used an older version (2.1). I need to type set documents with the style TCILATEX.tex but as usually it do not come with latex, I copied it into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\latex
and
C:\localtexmf\miktex\config

However the problem is that when I try to update mikte packages from Start\Miktex\Maintenance\Miktex Package Manager and when I do Task -- Update Wizard the follwoing error appears

MiKTeX Problem Report

Hi:

I've been experiencing a problem with the PDF output from WinEdt. I have two
computers, laptop and desktop. More specifically, after latex, dvips and
ps2pdf at both computers I get different PDF files. A nice PDF at the
laptop, a not nice at all from the desktop, part of the text at the left and
bottom chopped etc. The software is the same at both computers, i.e.
ghostview, PDF and WinEdt, except MikTex. I use version 2.2 on the laptop
which seems to be working fine and version 2.9 on the desktop which does not
give me a nice output. Note that I purchased the 2.2 version which arrived
in a CD but I simply downloaded the 2.9 version. However, the CD does not
seem to be working anymore and I cannot find the 2.2 version on the web.

I've tried everything and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you send a minimal example?

Which OS is each running? I'm guessing XP as it's MiKTeX 2.2

Do you have a specific reason for using latex-dvips-ps2pdf as the route to PDF generation? There are still specific reasons to do this but the more usual method these days is to use a tex which generates PDFs natively (e.g. pdftex, xetex).

There is no difference between the download and CD versions - it's just that you've paid to receive it on CDR. Which, as it sounds as though you've discovered, isn't necessarily a good idea for a long-term archive...

Do you mean that the CD doesn't read or that there's a problem running the installer?

Either way, MiKTeX 2.2 is so old it's not even listed on the miktex.org releases page! The issue most likely is a package which has changed since then (for example, I recall that some Type 1 fonts packages broke around MiKTeX 2.4 or 2.5 when some naming schemes were corrected). Having far too much storage space, I do have archives of some pretty old MiKTeXs but I'm afraid I must have skipped 2.2 completely as I only have 2.1 and 2.3!

> I've tried everything and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need minimal examples of what's not right - it sounds as though something is wrong either with your fonts or with a configuration option for one of the packages.

There is no attached file. You should copy the log file text to normal 
mail content.

Hi everybody there...

I need help to be able to insert a table of variations of a function in a latex file
I'm using texmaker to produce pdf file on Windows 7 64 bit 
I've tried the tablor package and it isn't working  , It has a french documentation and I can't understand how to make
it work
Thanks in advance.

Re: [MiKTeX] (no subject)

From: <Bernard.Alfonsi@ma...> - 2012-05-05 20:28

Did you see you need to install  the  computer algebra system XCAS  
(tablor relies on xcas to make all necessary calculations) and to  
allow shell escape (see Readme.txt).

Best regards,
B. Alfonsi
