I need to install the xpatch package to make changes to my biblatex setup. The readme file in the install package simply says to run “latex xpatch.ins.” I've moved the xpatch folder (including xpatch.ins and xpatch.dtx files) to the /usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/ folder. When I run the command above, I get the output Generating file(s) ./xpatch.sty
! Cannot find file xpatch.dtx.
\readsource ...ot find file \uptospace #1 \qStop }
\else \processedLines \z@ ...
l.34 ...xpatch.sty} {\from{xpatch.dtx} {package}}}
I've checked, and the .dtx file is in the folder. Any ideas what the problem is?
.sty
file in a working directory wherexpatch.ins
andxpatch.dtx
are saved. However, I don't think it will work with TeX Live 2011, because it needsexpl3
in a version that is unlikely to be available. Update your TeX distribution..tds.zip
version ofxpatch
on CTAN? Is so, Alexander could grabl3kernel.tds.zip
,l3packages.tds.zip
and thexpatch
TDS zip from CTAN and install them all locally.
