m-barcodes error

m-barcodes error

[Michael Green]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1405 bytes --]

I can’t get the example in the m-barcodes module to work. I have no urgent
need to print barcodes; I was just curious. I'm writing in case I found an
easily corrected bug.

The release notes from 2010.05.08 call this module mkiv only. But according
to the log, the file m-pstricks.mkii is used. And that seems to be the
proximate cause of the error.

The barcode module use pstricks and this requires the pstricks module 
which works only with mkii because the tex file is first converted to 
postscript and afterwards to pdf. pstricks a separate package (from 
Hebrbert Voß) and not included in the minimals.

OK. I thought I had installed the relevant files by hand. But it  
appears to be more complex than I realized. Thanks for explaining it  
to me.
