Kile ⇒ Kile won't build

[shannon]

I'm using Kile 2.0, and it was building pdf files just fine when it suddenly crashed. I have no idea what happened. I reloaded Kile and now it will not build at all. I've tried altering the settings and working with various .tex files. Nothing seems to work. When I use PDFLaTex+ViewPDF I get the following log message:

Code: Select all

[PDFLaTeX] report.tex => report.pdf (pdflatex)

When I use LaTex+DVItoPS+PStoPDF I get the following log message:

Code: Select all

[LaTeX] report.tex => report.dvi (latex)

and the following log output:

Code: Select all

Any ideas would be greatly welcome. I have re-installed Kile, but that seems to have made no difference.

Thanks,

Try to compile a minimal document on the command line and see what happens.

Hi Shannon,

perhaps post the complete .log file here as attachment.

Sorry but I'm not sure where to find the .log file.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

It should be in the same folder like your main document, has the same name but the file name extension .log.

Hi,

I built a min file and it worked. I then closed Kile and opened one file, built it, then closed Kile again and repeated this process for several individual files. Kile seemed to work fine. Then I opened the file that I had been working with when the problem began. The problem returned for that file. If I then opened a file, without closing the problematic file and Kile, Kile would do nothing.

I found the log file which contained more information than the "Log and Messages" and "Output". There was an error, a missing "\end{tabular}". Once I fixed this everything was fine.

Now I wonder why I did not get an error message on the "Log and Messages" output.

Thanks for the help.
Shannon
