Issue saving as pdf when exporting to another folder

[tawheeler]

I seem to have problems saving files as pdf when I save a pdf to a non-local location.

This works:

julia> p = Plots.Histogram(rand(100))
julia> save("out.pdf", p)

This does not (the folder does exist):

julia> p = Plots.Histogram(rand(100))
julia> save("otherfolder/out.pdf", p)

ERROR: Error saving as PDF.
 in save at /home/tim/.julia/v0.3/TikzPictures/src/TikzPictures.jl:126
 in save at /home/tim/.julia/v0.3/PGFPlots/src/PGFPlots.jl:302

It works if I run

cd("otherfolder")
julia> save("out.pdf", p)

Saving with the .tex extension with non-local destinations appears not to be a problem.

This may be a problem with TikzPictures rather than PGFPlots.

@tawheeler That is correct. I'll have to sort out what is going on there in TikzPictures.jl.

I'm having this exactly same problem even using your first example:

julia> save("out.pdf", p)
ERROR: Error saving as PDF.

Do you have lualatex installed and on your path, along with pgf2svg? Try
saving as TeX and then compiling yourself using lualatex. It might give a
clue on what is wrong.
