I am using the rpm for Suse 8.2. The installation went fine.
I am starting a new document, save it and when I try to produce a DVI file, I am always prompted "Failure to create logfile".
Any ideas to solve this ?
Thanks
Peter
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Do you get this message (in a messagebox):
"The LOG file does not exist or you do not have read permission. Maybe you forgot to create the LOG file?"
or
"Failure to create logfile".
If you get the first: Did you had a space in the filename? Or any other special characters? (This is a bug in Kile, will be fixed of course).
If you get the second: Where did the error appear? In the Output view, by which program was it generated.
best,

There is no space in the filename, it is named test.tex.
After saving, I select "quickbuild" and I get the error "logfile does not exist, or you have no writeaccess. Did you forget to create the logfile".
But the testfile is in my homedirectory ...
The funny thing is that there is an output in the logwindows:
Quick Build...
Kompilation...
cd '/home/peter/Buero' && latex -interaction=nonstopmode test.tex wurde gestartet
Viewing...
Any ideas,
Peter

Is there also a (readable) test.log file? What happens if you press View Log (or F10) to view the log file? It should give an error too. This error should only appear if there isn't a readable log file present, if confuses me why there isn't one present, did you do something funny with the file permissions?
The quickbuild does continue after this doesn't it? Btw, what version are you using?

Jeroen,
I just noticed that the problem is because my file was saved without the extension.
I just saved another testdocument with the extension .tex and I did not encounter any problems from there.
I was under the impression that kile would automatically save with the extension.

That makes sense. Kile does not add an extension to the filename when you save a file. It does, however, kind of force you to choose the "tex" extension. Perhaps I should warn the user if the file is saved without the tex extension.
Glad you found the problem!
best,
Jeroen
