[LON-CAPA-admin] LaTeX Errors with Printing

[JaBari A Scott]

Good Morning:

Thank you for that information Mike.  Upon further investigation, the two
access servers that are plagued with this issue have those files, but they
are empty!  I’m not sure if a package needs to be reinstalled.  Is there a
package that yum can install for this?  I’m assuming there may be more
files than just copying the </usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins/picins.sty>
file from one server to another.



Thoughts?



Thanks!

Not sure if this is intermittent or not.  If it consistently fails, we had
a similar issue.  My notes say:

The permissions on a latex file needed corrected so the web server could
read it. To be exact, the following commands were ran:



chmod 755 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins

chmod 644 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins/picins.sty

Good Morning All:

Our instance has developed a strange, inconsistent problem in the past
week.  Printing in LON-CAPA is not working 100% of the time on 3 of our
Access servers and is inconsistent on the Library server.  The error
message that is presented is:



LaTeX could not successfully parse your TeX file.

It probably has errors in it.

Here are the error messages in the LaTeX log file:

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



Type X to quit or  to proceed,

or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)



Enter file name:

! Emergency stop.





l.3 ...kage{wrapfig}\usepackage{picins}\usepackage

                                                  [T1]{fontenc}^^M

End of file on the terminal!



I am completely at a lost as to what to even check for a this juncture as
the LaTeX package appears to be installed on the servers.  Any advice from
the gallery?



Thanks so much!
