I tried once again to refresh the filename database,
and lo and behold all works now! But I attach the
msg I was in the process of writing, in case it
has any useful information.
Btw, and quite OT, pict2e has a small bug: cbezier and
qbezier commands should be terminated by a comment character
in order to produce continuous paths.
Thanks,
Alan Isaac
PS Here is my msg with log info:
When I provided a complete path to pictex2e
(in my case, c:/programs/texmf/tex/latex/pict2e/pict2e )
everything worked fine.
If I did not provide the complete path, MiKTeX does not find
pict2e.sty. From the log file:
==================================================
! LaTeX Error: File `pict2e.sty' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)
Enter file name: x
)
(\end occurred when \ifx on line 5 was incomplete)
(\end occurred when \ifx on line 5 was incomplete)
==================================================
I let MiKTeX "install" pict2e on the fly, in
that case it appeared to download and install it twice (!??).
This cannot be seen in the log, but I do notice
in the log what looks like an extra slash in the path name:
