I'm trying to create a presentation using powerdot for the first time. First, the powerdot-example.lyx file would not run because my xkeyval package was outdated. I tried to install xkeyval v2.5f and it forced me to install first the fourier-GUT package, which was also not present in my tetex distribution.
After all that, I was able to generate the dvi from the powerdot-example.lyx file, but I'm still not able to create a pdf using pdflatex. I exported the lyx file to latex and tried to run pdflatex from the command line. It complains that the command [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] is undefined. I was only able to generate pdf using dvipdf. But I should be able to run pdflatex directly, right? This way I should have access to all special effects pdf can provide. Below, the log file from pdflatex. Any suggestions? Thank you. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=pdflatex 2007.6.28) 6 JUL 2007 10:47 entering extended mode **powerdot-example (./powerdot-example.tex LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> Babel <v3.8d> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded.
