pdf file vs TEX

[srerasmo]

Hello,
I have a question, when trying to generate a pdf file. You send me the following error:
Something went wrong,
"LaTeXRuntimeException: Impossible to compile '/opt/indico/tmp/indico-texgen-3GiWlj/report.tpl.tex'. Read '/opt/indico/tmp/indico-texgen-3GiWlj/output.log' for details"

The file "output.log" is empty
Has anyone happened to you or do you know how to solve it?

Regards

Is xelatex installed?

[srerasmo]

yes, it is installed

[ThiefMaster]

Any other log files in that directory? I think LaTeX creates one as well...

[srerasmo]

Possibly I have to restart indico, after installing tex?

[ThiefMaster]

If you edited indico.conf then yes, you need to restart uWSGI (and ideally celery as well so it also has the latest config).

[srerasmo]

Yes, I restart:
systemctl restart uwsgi.service httpd.service indico-celery.service

This is Traceback:

The traceback is not really useful in this particular case.

Any other log files in that directory? I think LaTeX creates one as well...

[srerasmo]

in report.tpl.tex:

fancyfoot[L]{\small \rmfamily \color{gray} \today}
        \fancyfoot[C]{}
        \fancyfoot[R]{\small \rmfamily \color{gray} Página \thepage}
        \newpage

        \phantomsection

Is the latex snipped you posted above everything in report.tpl.tex or just a part of it?

Try running xelatex manually on the shell, using the following command. Maybe this provides more useful output.

/path/to/xelatex -no-shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory /opt/indico/tmp/indico-texgen-3GiWlj/ /opt/indico/tmp/indico-texgen-3GiWlj/report.tpl.tex

[srerasmo]

Agree, his is the message:

/opt/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/xelatex: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

"/opt/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/xelatex: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

[ThiefMaster]

Try running /opt/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/fmtutil-sys --all (probably as root). According to another user this helps.

PS: For future questions like this, our forum is actually the better place to ask.

[srerasmo]

this does not works :(

[ThiefMaster]

Did you also install libfontconfig1 as mentioned in the forum post?

Which Linux distribution are you using btw? We should probably add this to our docs...

[srerasmo]

I have Centos 7

[srerasmo]

Thank you very much! It works now! :-)
