I moved it to the directory suggested by your question (local tex files/tex/latex/natbib/), and - lo and behold - natbib is found. I find this behaviour strange, but "as long as it works", I'm happy. By the way, I am still not having any joy with the package manager. Do you have any idea of a solution to that? My problem from my previous email was: 1. The MikTeX package manager seems to be having problems connecting. If I select a package to install it begins a download that never ends (at least, not inside 40 minutes). The message is=20 >> MiKTeX Problem Report Message: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. << Andrew |

Why? natbib.sty is a file that latex should be able to find, so it should be in a latex folder. a .bst or a .bib-file is a file bibtex wants to find, so it should be in a bibtex folder. ist-files are files makeindex that needs, so they are in the makeindex folder. config.ps is a file dvips wants to find, so it is in a dvips folder. font-files should be found by various application so there is extra font-folder. > By the way, I am still not having any joy with the package manager.

The message is No, I don't know why you have problems to connect. Are you behind a proxy or something like that? Did you try other repositories? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ulrike Fischer mailto:li...@ni... |
