Kile build error! Cannot find an .sty file in the system.

Post by yperionas »

Dear all I am a new user with linux Kile so I appreciate in advance your patience and you help.

I am using the build tool of kile and I get an error that says:
'dings.sty' not found. /usepackage

Some additional information:
I have added \usepackage{glossary} and \makeglossary packages.

I use the locate command to serach for the file dings.sty but is not found in the system.

Any ideas of how to proceed?

I've never heard of a package called "dings". Why are you trying to load this package to begin with? Are you sure you don't mean bbding or dingbat?

Yeah me too. I have even tried googling it but obviously I got no hit.
I am interested in loading this specific glossary style for which abbreviations are listed along with the page numbers they can be found at.

No no I don't mean bbding or dingbat. 'dings.sty' not found. /usepackage is the exact error that I get.

When I run locate dings.sty I get only 2 files: fancyheadings.sty and nccheadings.sty. You think these two are somehow related to the error I get? They have the same endings :)

IS there any chance latex cannot find the location of these two files?

What is this glossary style, exactly, and where did you find it?
