I'm trying to manually install the package sjlatex. It's a package to write documents in the Stata Journal style and it's not part of any repository so I cannot install it via the MiKTeX package manager. I have put all the files that come with the package in
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\texmf\tex\latex\sjlatex
refreshed FNDB and updated format files. But when I run a simple document that calls up the stata
package, I get the error message that stata.sty
cannot be found, even though I can see stata.sty
in
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\texmf\tex\latex\sjlatex
Here's a MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stata}
\begin{document}
An example:
\begin{stlog}
\input{example2_1.log.tex}
\end{stlog}
\end{document}
stlog
is an environment specified by the stata
package, but I don't even get that far before the error message hits. I'm on Windows Vista and running MiKTeX 2.9 in WinEdt.
Also, I checked the file dependencies listed here and, as far as I can tell, I have correctly installed all the required files (using the MiKTeX package manager).
I was hoping someone would have an idea of things I could try? Sorry if there is something obvious that I have missed ...
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\texmf\tex\latex\stata
instead ofC:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\texmf\tex\latex\sjlatex
. I'm not sure this is the source of your problem, but you could give it a try.*.sty
) and class (*.cls
) do not form part of a traditional LaTeX distribution, you could leave all the files (statapress.cls
,pagedims.sty
,sj.sty
andstata.sty
) in your working folder without updating your FNDB; LaTeX will search in the working folder first before moving on to the FNDB.stata.sty
file. Still doesn't work, I'm afraid. Werner - putting the files in the local folder does the trick, thanks! It's not massively elegant, but it works for now.
