I am trying to write my resume using Latex, to have a better document and attract more interest from the recruiters. Internet is full of places with lots of templates and walk-troughs to build it up. But, I am having a nightmare with all the stuff about packages, extensions, modes etc.

For instance, if I use this template in the compilation time the system tells me that I need to have installed Xetex, in order to use a library. But I have it installed already! (at least Ubuntu Sw Centre told that).

I need a briefly introduction of how libraries works in Tex, and an explanation how to use the different versions of Tex (e.g. europass, cvtex, etc).

Could anyone help me?

    Installing xetex is not enough, if you are compiling a document that uses xetex-specific libraries. You need to use xetex or xelatex (instead of latex).

  • I modified the vague title. The link to the template in the question is not working, please correct it.

  • Thanks for the links, mate. I had learned working with LaTeX a few years back, and am interested in taking it up seriously. Those links are very good places to start off with!
