When I enable \usepgfplotslibrary{external} and \tikzexternalize, I am receiving an error message
! Package tikz Error: Sorry, the system call 'pdflatex -halt-on-error -interact
ion=batchmode -jobname "sam2-figure0" "\def\tikzexternalrealjob{sam2}\input{sam
2}"' did NOT result in a usable output file 'sam2-figure0' (expected one of .pd
f:.jpg:.jpeg:.png:). Please verify that you have enabled system calls. For pdfl
atex, this is 'pdflatex -shell-escape'. Sometimes it is also named 'write 18' o
r something like that. Or maybe the command simply failed? Error messages can b
e found in 'sam2-figure0.log'. If you continue now, I'll try to typeset the pic
ture.
See the tikz package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

This error message was generated by an \errmessage
command, so I can't give any explicit help.

I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.

I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

The paragraph just ended includes some glue that has
infinite shrinkability, e.g., `\hskip 0pt minus 1fil'.
Such glue doesn't belong there---it allows a paragraph
of any length to fit on one line. But it's safe to proceed,
since the offensive shrinkability has been made finite.
