having trouble making prefigure PDFs

[Alex Jordan]

I have a fork of Tom's ODE project:

https://github.com/PCCMathSAC/odeproject-public

I am having trouble building a PDF for this. When I use the CLI to build print, the LaTeX compilation chokes when it reaches a certain PDF image that is missing. This image is from a prefigure image in source. The repo has committed SVG for the prefigure images, but not PDF.

When I try to ask the CLI to generate prefigure for the print target, the console messages seem to indicate lots of prefigure PDF files are successfully built. But then I don't find them anywhere, and trying to build print still fails.

What should I be doing differently? Commands I am using are:

pretext generate -t print prefigure

pretext build print

Hi Alex,

I cloned your repository and made a print version with those two commands, which makes me think the issue is with your prefigure installation.  Building PDFs requires that rsvg-convert be installed (see point 6 here), and I suspect that's the likely problem.  Recent versions of PreFigure should report an error, however, when rsvg-convert isn't available so I'm curious when your prefig was last updated.

What do you see if you navigate into source/prefigure and try

prefig pdf -b firstlook01-integral-curves.xml

Thanks,

David
