Sorry, I cannot find the way to reply to the list (using either “Reply
All” or “Reply List”)
Tell me how and I will do it.
Unless you’re using an email client out of the stone age, it will have a
“Reply All” option somewhere. Without knowing what client you are using,
I can’t tell you how to find it, but you should be able to look it up in
the Help documentation.
Some newer clients (such as the most recent version of Thunderbird) also
incorporate a “Reply List” option for mailing lists. Again, without
knowing which client you use I can’t tell you whether or not it’s there
nor how to access it if it is, but you should be able to look it up in
your Help documentation.
Second you are talking of GregorioTex and I am installing TexLive and
working with TeXworks, are we talking of the same thing?
GregorioTeX is a package for TeX which provides the necessary
instructions to typeset a Gregorian chant score. It is this package that
this list is dedicated to. TeXLive is a distribution of TeX which
includes the basic typesetting rules and programs as well as many
packages which make creating more sophisticated documents easier (though
not GregorioTeX). TeXworks is a graphical editor specifically designed
for use with TeX. It makes the process of editing the source and
translating that into the final document more integrated so that you can
work faster and more easily. For most people, all three are an integral
part of producing Gregorian chant scores. Think of it this way: TeXLive
is the 100+ piece tool set you might buy when setting up a workshop.
It’s got your hammers, saws, chisels, screwdrivers, clamps, wrenches,
and a variety of other basic tools which allow you to do a huge variety
of tasks. TeXworks is the work bench where you use these tools,
providing you with a work space specifically geared towards the activity
of typesetting documents. GregorioTeX is that specialty tool you need
for a particular job which didn’t come in the initial set. By itself,
it’s essentially useless, but when combined with TeXLive and TeXworks,
it allows you to do things that were incredibly difficult, if not
impossible, to do without it.
Yes after reinstalling TexLive and Gregorio, I checked “add files to
texmf tree” before finishing.
I got the message in a command window: “unzipping TDS Zip File” and at
the end: “Post install script complete. Press return to continue.”
This means that the post install script ran to completion and so the
GregorioTeX files should have been placed in the correct place for TeX
to find them. You can check at least part of the copying by typing the
following at the command line:
|gregorio --version
|
If you get a error about gregorio being not recognized, then the copying
failed. If you get a message indicating the version of gregorio
installed on your system, then it succeeded (at least for one of the
files in the bunch).
Still get the same message at the 2 command lines you asked me to
write, and still gregoriotex.sty not found in TeXworks.
This means that there was an error in the post-install script, even
though it appeared to have completed normally (it gave you the correct
exit message). Based on the experience of another user, the problem was
probably in the last step. Try opening a command line and running the
following:
|mktexlsr
|
Then try compiling your score again. If that doesn’t work, then try the
following:
|initexmf --update-fndb --admin
|
The first is supposed to be an alias for the second, but I’ll give you
both just in case the first doesn’t work.
Since TexLive is not strictly a Windows Program, it can be installed
anywere.
I Install it last time at: “C:\Program Files\texlive” and the time
before: “C:\texlive”.
Wich one is the required way?
Doesn’t matter. The GregorioTeX installer is designed to find TeXLive no
matter where you put it as long as it registers itself with your OS
properly. Since |kpsewhich| is working from the command line, I know it
did that.
Gregorio is a Windows program and install itself without asking
in “C:\Program Files\Gregorio”, is that OK?
Gregorio is not a Windows program. It is a combination of a TeX package
(GregorioTeX, as I explained above) and a command line tool
(|gregorio.exe| which translates gabc notation into the necessary TeX
commands to typeset a Gregorian chant score). The installer, in placing
the files in |C:\Program Files\Gregorio| is simply putting these pieces
in the place where Windows expects installers to put files. It is then
the job of the post-install script to copy these files to the places
where TeX expects to find them and register them with TeX so that it
knows they are there. The files in |C:\Program Files\Gregorio| are
retained as a sort of back-up/receipt of what was installed.
Further, the installer should prompt you for an installation location
right after you agree to the license. |C:\Program Files\Gregorio| is
simply the default.
If you tell me where to put the 3 Directorys from the Zip File, I can
try to place them where they are supposed to go.
They are supposed to go in the directory revealed by |kpsewhich
--var-value TEXMFLOCAL|, but based on my experience helping another
user, I think you’ll find they’re already there. Unless I miss my guess,
the problem is in the registration step (as I explained above).
Thank you very much for your help,
F. Félix
You’re welcome. I just hope that the above works (as then I think I know
how to fix the installer).
