LaTeX Error: File datatool-base.sty not found

Question

When I try to use \usepackage{glossaries} then I get the error message:

"LaTeX Error: File datatool-base.sty not found".

Is something else needed?

Answer 1

You probably need to update your version of datatool. (datatool-base.sty was split away from datatool.sty in version 2.10.)

Answer 2

The solution is to use the package datatool before using glossaries.

Example:

\usepackage{datatool}
\usepackage{glossaries}
