Hi everybody, Could someone solve any trouble I've had with MikTex?.Well I'm getting start with MikTex, especially with PsTricks and I tried the following code snippet: \usepackage{pstcol}\begin{pspicture}(o,o)(2,2)\showgrid \psline[linewidth=1pt,linecolor=gray]{<->}(0.5,0)(0,1)(1,1.5)(1.5,1)(.5,.5)\end{pspicture} However when I compile the associated file to this code snippet I get the following error queue: \usepackage before \documentclass. \usepackage{Environment pspicture undefined. \begin{pspicture}Missing \begin{document}. \begin{pspicture}(Undefined control sequence \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(2,2)\showgridUndefined control sequence \psline\begin{document ended by \end{pspicture}. end{pspicture}Emergency stop I wonder if I must add more code to the previous code snippet, since in the error queue appears "\usepackage before \documentclass" and "Missing \begin{document}, but anyway other errors appear which in my opinion don't make sense. I need some help, please!!! |

Hello Miguel! In my experience that is quite normal. Once you make a big (structural) mistake, and leaving out a \documentclass or \begin{document} is fatal for the TeX eingine, you can get all kinds of seemingly meaningless messages. But the first error message is usually dependable. My strategy is always to fix the first error TeX reports, and see whether the next one makes sense to me. Sometimes it does and I can fix it, often it doesn't and I'll simply run TeX again to see what it finds next.
