His installation has problems finding files. Using something like "\input ./path/to/file.tex" works OK, but this doesn't: \externalfigure[./path/to/file.pdf] He gets a "figure ./path/to/file.pdf can not be found"-error, while the same code works OK with my local Windows in a VMware virtual machine. He happens to have cygwin installed (I don't have it) and I was wondering whether that is the course of his problems? How does cygwin interfere with finding the /path/to/the picture file? Can I solve this by escaping the path in some special way? Or would moving the picture to the current directory help? Thanks for any suggestions, Jelle ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
