I am trying to view crystal graphs from inside sage, and I am going a 
little nuts. Sometimes view(...) works as I expect but most of the time it 
doesn't, and I see the error message:

The document “sage.pdf” could not be opened. The file doesn’t exist.

(my emphasis). I compiled sage from source and I am running:

SageMath version 10.3.beta1
Release Date: 2023-12-10         
Using Python 3.11.6.

on a 2022 macbook pro (M1 max), running Sonoma 14.1.2. I installed dot2tex 
using:
    sage -i dot2tex, which 
which installed without errors. Running
    sage: from sage.graphs.graph_latex import check_tkz_graph
    sage: check_tkz_graph() 
does not report any problems with my set up.

I get the error message above using the the sage commands:

sage: L=RootSystem(['A',4]).weight_space().basis()
sage: G=crystals.LSPaths(['A',4], L[1])
sage: G
The crystal of LS paths of type ['A', 4] and weight Lambda[2]
sage: view(G)

I get the same error if I try the examples from the "Classical crystals" 
thematic tutorial, 
<https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/thematic_tutorials/lie/crystals.html#installing-dot2tex>
 
such as:

sage: B = crystals.Tableaux(['A',2], shape=[2,1])
sage: view(B, tightpage=True) 

When it does work, a nice tikz generated pdf file pops up. Am I missing 
some steps? Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Andrew
