    Hi,
    I installed the plugin using the SVN repository.
    Everything worked fine except that the preview was never available.
    Michael told me to run gedit from the console and I found this error2011-03-29 20:02:36,307 DEBUG PreviewDocument - Initialize <GeditLaTeXPlugin.src.latex.livepreview.PreviewDocument instance at 0x9c02fcc>
    2011-03-29 20:02:36,309 WARNING PreviewDocument - Error loading poppler (python-poppler not installed ?).
    2011-03-29 20:02:36,309 WARNING PreviewPanel - Error while creating preview panel: <type 'exceptions.Exception'>, Error when opening the output file /home/juanpi/Projects/NonLinearFrequencyResponse/WandaXSpring/publications/Manuscript.pdf, ('Error when opening the output file /home/juanpi/Projects/NonLinearFrequencyResponse/WandaXSpring/publications/Manuscript.pdf',)
    2011-03-29 20:02:36,310 WARNING PreviewPanel - Creating default panel

    I installed python-poppler (using apt-get) and now it works fine.
    I did not find any note regarding python-poppler. Maybe a note could be added in the project homepage.

    Thanks

    JPi

    The "INSTALL" file says "Poppler Python Bindings (optional, needed for embedded PDF preview)" in the "REQUIREMENTS" section.

    Hi Michale,
    Yes, that is true. I hadn't check the INSTALL file, I just was reading the webpage. Maybe is a good idea to make the two list of requirements equivalent
    I mean this page
    http://www.michaels-website.de/gedit-latex-plugin/

    I also can not easily find a requirements section on the sourceforge page, that is maybe my mistake.

    Thanks
