Sysquake LE and Sysquake for LaTeX

[fromSpain]

Hi all
I love the idea behind Sysquake for LaTeX. I have tried to install it
and compiled the example (sq-example.tex) but it doesn't work: I get
For Sysquake = ??sysquake?? and e = ??sysquake??.

MikTeX finds the .sty file but it does not execute sysquake correctly
(at the end of the .lme file I find:

catch
disp 'Cannot find libraries polyhedra.lml and colormaps.lml'
end
sqlxendfragment('ix');


I have checked the path on my windows system...I have both the
Sysquake and the Sysquake for latex/Lib paths in the PATH and the
SYSQUAKELXPATH variables (and the both libraries are in those paths)
... what am I doing wrong?
Thankx for your help

Hi,

Have you tried without any library? For instance just an expression
like

foo \sqexpr{1+2} bar

If it doesn't work, try running sysquakelatextool from a command
prompt:

sysquakelatextool test.lme

It should write latex definitions without error.

Then you can try a builtin graphical command:

\begin{sysquake}(100,80)
plot(rand(10));
\end{sysquake}

If it doesn't work, try with pdflatex instead of latex if you haven't.

Please tell us what works and what doesn't!

Now I see what I did wrong... had not added the -enable-write18 option
to the pdflatex command!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your suggestions made me realize it.
I have included the steps below that document how I figured it out.
Hope it helps those that follow ;)

So this is what I got:

Yes, (in a file test.tex) I get
foo ??sysquake?? bar

I get

Run the same on sq-example.lme

Again, what I get is:

??sysquake??

I have tried everything with pdflatex (my default compiler for latex).
I have also tried regular latex but I get the same results (on the
dvi)


I run sysquakelatextool on the new test.lme (with the graph) and got:

So, it is writing the LaTeX commands but not compiling ...!!!... The
conclusion is then obvious ... It is not recompiling the tex file ....
(bulb lights up!) .... I had not added the -enable-write18 option to
the pdflatex command!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Execute
pdflatex test.tex -enable-write18
pdflatex sq-example -enable-write18

Now it works beautifully!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
