Problem compiling with TeXLive
Solution 1
The package texlive-full
is a “metapackage pulling in all components of TeX Live”.
Solution 2
There's never been an isolatin
option for inputenc
: you probably want latin1
.
The package aeguill
is very obsolete. To get correct guillemets just load fontenc
with the T1
option. You may want also to load the Latin Modern fonts.
\documentclass[a4paper,10 pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
%\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{xspace}
\usepackage{fullpage}
%Specific to TikZ
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{animate}
Solution 3
I use the original TeXLive DVD and install it in /opt/texlive/. After installation I set the the path variable to point to the new TeXLive folder. And it works for me. Since I use this method I has no more problem with TeXLive, and I don't use TeXLive distrituted by Ubuntu repos any more.
You can download the DVD here: http: // ctan . org / mirrors (choose one of them), then follow the instruction here: (sorry, I'm a new user so I can post only 2 links pls remove the blank.) (mounting ISO file etc....) http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-iso.html
(Install TeXLive) http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html

I am a Ubuntu user, and recently I had a problem with my upgrade from an older version of Ubuntu to a newer one, so I had to wipe everything out and start back from scratch. Unfortunately, that involves setting LaTeX to work back again.
The problem I have is the following : I don't remember what I was using as a LaTeX distribution before, but I know that now I am using TeXLive ; when I run pdflatex, it gives me an error line on every single line in my code, which usually looks like this for one of my average-looking files :
\documentclass[a4paper,10 pt]{article} \usepackage[isolatin]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} %\usepackage[francais]{babel} \usepackage[cyr]{aeguill} \usepackage{xspace} \usepackage{fullpage} %Specific to TikZ \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \usepackage{ifthen} \usepackage{animate} ....
For instance, I get told from the second line that "File isolatin.def not found" and then my packages ending in ".sty" keep appearing a lot in the errors. If I keep letting them go though (by pressing enter in my terminal, it kind of ignores the warning) I can compile and get my .pdf file, but it won't show with all my pretty packages. Any idea about why this happens? Thank you!

Håkon Malmedal over 11 yearsHave you installed the package
texlive-full
? -
Patrick Da Silva over 11 yearsLooks like I hadn't... didn't even know about this package! It's installing right now. I'll fill you in with how everything goes afterwards. Thanks to @Higgs for the edit ; that's actually what I wanted to output in my question, but I didn't know how.

Patrick Da Silva over 11 yearsI never actually bothered about those packages ; I copy-pasted the list from one of my friends and then just let it there. Thanks for noticing this for me
