Compiling Manual

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I found a .sty file missing from the manual

! LaTeX Error: File `commath.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name: 

Adding this file to the dir resolved the problem (link). Maybe you can add this file to the git repository?

I got a second error:

kpathsea: Running mktexmf pplb7t
! I can't find file `pplb7t'.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input pplb7t

This prevented me from generating the PDF. Do you have any suggestions?

The manual can now be found online here, and I updated the README to point users there. Regarding those error messages, I had never seen either before today. Today I saw the 'commath.sty' error for the 1st time, when setting up a Github Action to build and post the manual; this error was resolved by adding 'apt-get install texlive-science'. So perhaps your latex distribution is missing a package like this. I've never seen the pp1b7t error.

Thanks for uploading the manual as a PDF.

The missing STY occurred on both my local computer and pppl's portal cluster.
The missing file `pplb7t' occured only on my local computer.

After scp-ing the commath.sty to cluster, I was able to run the makefile successfully without any modification, and generate the 26pg PDF.

Since that resolved the problem I am closing this issue.
