contrib-prosper-1.0.0 contains some image files that are required for the slide styles that ship with prosper-1.5 for example, the "corners" style ... a title page builds fine, but then latex chokes on actual slides as the update bullet image isn't there. slides.tex: ======================= \documentclass[final, slideColor, total, colorBG, pdf, corners, ps2pdf]{prosper\ } \usepackage{seminar, pstricks, hyperref} \title{Blah} \author{Blah2 and Blah3} \institution{School of Computer Science} \email{blah@blah.blah} \begin{document} \maketitle \begin{slide}{The Title of the Slide} \begin{itemize} \item Item 1 \item Item 2 \item Item 3 \end{itemize} \end{slide} \end{document} =========================== Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: latex slides.tex Actual Results: LaTeX Warning: File `degrade-blanc-bleu.eps' not found on input line 28. ! LaTeX Error: File `degrade-blanc-bleu.eps' not found. Expected Results: doesn't choke. I think it's better to include the contrib tarball in this ebuild rather than make a separate package for it, but do whatever you want. As is, prosper-1.5 doesn't have all the functionality it appears to.
furthermore, once I installed contrib-prosper-1.0.0 into /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/prosper/contrib I had to hack PPRcorners.sty to use absolute paths for the 4 eps files therein in order for latex to find them. There's probably a better solution, but I don't really have time to seek it out seeing as this works for me now.
Thanks for the bug report. I added prosper-1.5-r1 to install eps in addition to ps. Does that solve your problem? (I can compile your sample tex with -r1.)
i can't check this just yet, i'm very busy. will get to it.
