Description bugreports2005 2016-10-20 11:12:35 UTC
Description of problem:

documents using texlive-pstricks can't be converted with dvips or dvipdf because of a missing header pst-tools.pro.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

texlive-pstricks-svn29678.2.39-38.el7.noarch


How reproducible:

Fully.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install texlive
2. Create this document test.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}

3. latex test.tex && dvips test.dvi


Actual results:

dvipdf: ! Couldn't find header file: pst-tools.pro
resulting pdf looks empty without the text "test".


Expected results:

dvipdf finishes successfully and pdf shows expected content.


Additional info:

In Fedora the pst-tools.pro header is provided by the package texlive-pst-tools, which is omitted from RHEL7.

texlive-pst-tools is included in texlive-extension in epel. Please install it with following command:

yum install texlive-extension.

Please make sure that you have enable yum repo for epel7.

wget http://ftp.wrz.de/pub/fedora-epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm

Comment 3 bugreports2005 2016-10-25 08:08:04 UTC
Your link to the epel-release seems broken, but I am already using EPEL and I don't see that package.

Shouldn't it be seen in https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/t/ if it was available?
