I get this error when clicking "typeset" on TeXShop:  "/usr/texbin/pdflatex does not exist. TeXShop is  a front end for TeX, but you also need a TeX distribution. Perhaps such a distribution was not installed or was removed during a system upgrade. If so, go to  and follow the instructions to (re)install MacTeX. A less likely possibility is that a tool path is incorrectly configured in TeXShop preferences. This can happen if you are using the macports or fink distributions."  How do I fix this issue? (I apologize if the tag below is incorrect.)

Texstudio doesn't work for me anymore after updating to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I have the latest version of TexStudio installed (2.10.2). As pointed out by , this is due to a change in the places OS X allows files to be saved. When I started TexStudio, I received a message "PDFLatex could not be launched". In the settings, I had to change the folder of the compiler from user/texbin/ to /Library/Tex/texbin, as shown in the screenshot below:    Can anybody tell me if I have to make further changes in order to make TexStudio fully working (bibliography and the like), and if yes, which?   I hope TexStudio are very soon going to release an update (there is an issue for this on their issue queue.  Thank you for your help. This is my first post here, so please apologize any imprecisions.

I recently installed MiKTeX with the texmaker editor and cannot figure out how to update the packages. When I attempt to use the subfigure package with the following preamble  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subfigure}   I then get a prompt to install a new package, which I then set to the online directory at ctan. I then get the following error:   ! LaTeX Error: File `subfig.sty' not found.Type X to quit or &lt;RETURN&gt; to proceed,or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)Enter file name:! Emergency stop.&lt;read &gt;   How do I properly install packages to miktex? I'm absolutely confused. Thanks in advance for any help.

When I compilethis MWE:   \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \begin{document} Test $x_\mathit{in}$ \end{document}   ...it works perfectly with latex and pdflatex. If I try to use htlatex on it, it chokes:   ! Argument of \new:mfont has an extra }. &lt;inserted text&gt;                  \par  l.7 Test $x_\mathit{                     in}$   What am I doing wrong?   (BTW: if someone can point me to a comprehensive document about htlatex, please do... my google-fu is quite low today).   EDIT I discovered that if I write:   ...$x_{\mathit{in}}$    (with the extra set of braces) it works. But I am still wondering why...  This is standard (distribution-provided) full LaTeX installation in Ubuntu 14.04.

How can I install a package that doesn't exist in my MikTeX 2.9 package manager? I have downloaded it from CTAN and then created a folder named ucharclasses that contains the ucharclasses.sty and ucharclasses.tex at the path MikTeX → tex → latex.  However I still get the error ucharclasses.sty not found. I am a Windows user and I use MikTeX 2.9 and TexWorks, if that has any importance.

I need to install a LaTeX package on my MikTeX system.  Specifically, I am trying to make biblatex work, but I always get the error message:    ! LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.   I have changed the options to have the "Quick Build" command that includes biblatex too.   Code/commands are correct because it's working under Overleaf.

Last night, I migrated my MacBook's operating system from 10.10 "Yosemite" to 10.11 "El Capitan". Everything seemed to go smoothly. Happily, regarding my TeX-related work, I am able to use the GUI front ends "TeXworks" and "TeXshop" just fine since completing the OS upgrade. I use MacTeX2015, with all the latest updates installed.  Oddly, though, since completing the upgrade I can no longer run any MacTeX command-line utilities such as texdoc and kpsewhich. (Actually, as I just discovered, I can no longer run pdflatex either from a command line. However, I never do run pdflatex from a command line prompt, so that's not an urgent problem for me -- at least not for now.)  The suggestions given in the posting  do not seem to be applicable to this case, as they all seem to revolve around setting up /usr/texbin correctly -- /usr/texbin is no longer allowed under MacOSX 10.11. The document  by Herb Schulz deals in depth with adjusting settings in the GUI front ends, but it appears not to touch on what to do about /usr/texbin, which appears to be the now-missing link to TeX's command line utilities.   Pointers and solutions most welcome!

I'm using the latest version of MacTeX 2013 on OS X 10.8.4. All of my Tex Live packages are fully up-to-date. Tex Live also lists the fontawesome package as installed. I'm trying to use the FontAwesome font with XeLatex or LuaLatex and getting font-not-found errors. The exact message is: kpathsea: Running mktexmf FontAwesome ! I can't find file `FontAwesome'.  There's a longer traceback which I am omitting for brevity. Let me know if it's needed to resolve this problem. I have already tried running the following commands, to no avail: sudo -H mktexlsr sudo -H updmap-sys  Other than the above two commands, this is a 100% new out-of-the-box installation, with no modifications whatsoever. Here's a minimal broken example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontawesome}  \begin{document} \faTwitter \end{document}  How can I add this missing font? Edit (Q1 2021): Please see Justin Curry's answer regarding an update to the package name from fontawesome to fontawesome5.

There is some conflict or error I don't understand. I can skip it and nothing visible happens. The output is okay and everything seems to be fine. Still I would like to get rid of the error message.

I have come across an ancient (1995) LaTeX file which was (surely) once compliant, but now does not compile at all. Is there any way to rescue it?  My actual question is much more precise. I want a copy of the follow paper on the arXiv:    Downloading the pdf source produces something which looks like a document on a4 paper printed on US letter (the bottoms of some pages are cut off). However, if you download the TeX source from the arXiv, then it doesn't compile (even adding .tex, naturally). I'm using an up to date version of TeXshop on a mac.

I'm having this Error when I try to compile my .tex file with xelatex:  ! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `dvips', (hyperref)                because XeTeX is running.  See the hyperref package documentation for explanation.   This is my LaTeX header  \documentclass[10pt, a4paper, dvips,]{moderncv}  \moderncvtheme[grey, roman]{classic}  \usepackage{ifxetex} \ifxetex % only for xelatex \usepackage{xltxtra} % this should load both fontspec &amp; xunicode \usepackage{fontspec} \setromanfont{Helvetica Neue} \else % \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \fi % \ifxetex   Any ideas?  EDIT:  I removed the 'dvips', now I get:  ! Package hyperref Error: Wrong driver option `pdftex', (hyperref)                because pdfTeX in PDF mode is not detected.  See the hyperref package documentation for explanation.   Now my first latex line  \documentclass[10pt, a4paper]{moderncv}   Any clues ?

I am using Ubuntu Software Center. I found the package, click Install and it says that the package is installed. BUT when I tried to compile my .tex file it says      LaTeX Error: File `fullpage.sty' not found.   When I typed in the terminal locate fullpage.sty nothing appears. When I typed  apt-get install fullpage, it gives the following error:      E: Unable to locate package fullpage   I already did mktexlsr  What should I do in this case?

I'm a real novice on LaTex, having only used it previously a small amount at University but not for a while. I've decided I'd quite like to transfer my CV to the LaTex moderncv style. I downloaded the package here  I use TexWorks, and I was hoping I'd just be able to open the template file from the moderncv download, compile it and edit the text to produce a nice CV. Unfortunately, when I try to do this I get the following error:  Running ttf2pk.exe... miktex-makepk: PK font umvs could not be created. !pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 864 not found ==&gt; Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).  So it seems to be a problem with not having a font package installed or something?! Do you know which package this is? And how do I actually download a font package so that TexWorks knows it's installed and thus compiles the file? I've heard people talk about Miktex package installer, but I don't think I have that available, but I set up all my LaTex stuff quite a while ago, so I'm not sure... Sorry for my very poor understanding of LaTex, I'd just like to find a way to get this moderncv package working asap. Any help would be much appreciated. Added MWE: \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}          \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  \moderncvstyle{casual}                            \moderncvcolor{blue}     \usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}  \name{John}{Doe} \title{Resumé title}                                \address{street and number}{postcode city}{country} \phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}                    \email{john@doe.org}                                 \begin{document} \makecvtitle  \section{Education}  \end{document}  still does not compile and produces the error:  !pdfTeX error: pdflatex.EXE (file umvs): Font umvs at 657 not found ==&gt; Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! texify: pdflatex failed for some reason (see log file).

I'm using the BasicTeX distribution on OS X and recently upgrade from the 2011 to the 2012 distribution. This forces me to add the packages that I had added over time to the BasixTeX 2011 installation by pulling them from the online repository with tlmgr. Is there a good way to list these packages that are not part of BasicTeX but are part of the complete TeXLive?

I often have this error when using AUCTeX:  TeX-error: Error occured after last TeX file closed  However, when running for instance pdflatex on the command line, I have a proper error message. But the line number information is not always useful, especially if multiple files are included. I'd like to be able to see the error in Emacs.
