I would like to use a special notation in LaTeX, namely the "product integral" symbol.
Apparently, the \prodi command from the prodint package does the job. The package seems to be available in the form of a zip file at the following page http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~gill/ (near the end of the page).
Can someone explain me how I can load the package from that zip file ?
Thank you in advance !
The file that you linked to is a named "prodint.zip", but is actually a gzipped tarball. The unzipping process is depends on your operating system.
Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.3 or later have a built0in utility that opens gzipped files and untars archives. You can just double click on the file.
Windows
This is from the gzip home page:
For Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP, use PowerArchiver,
7-zip
(freeware) or Winzip
(commercial).
Unix (including Mac from the Terminal)
Type and run the following command (the $ is the unix prompt, not part of the command):
$ tar xzvf prodint.tgz
If that doesn't work, try this sequence:
$ gunzip prodint.tgz
$ tar xvf prodint.tar
Now that you've unarchived the files you will probably want to know how to install them so that your TeX can see them. That also will depend on your operating system and tex distribution. Read the file prodint.readme that is in the archive and TUG's Installing Tex Fonts page.
PS You can find an entire community on the TeX StackExchange, where no TeX-related question is too small.

When I tried the instructions at https://arclanguage.github.io/, after I entered "racket -f as.scm" I got "-bash: racket: command not found".
I also tried these instructions for downloading Arc on Linux:
https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki/getting-started/install-arc
I installed racket from download.racket-lang.org, and when I got to "./arc" in the Arc/Nu section, the output from the terminal was "env: racket: No such file or directory".
The Arc Language Wiki (linked to above) indicates that the official installation instructions are out of date, and says little about how to install Arc on OS X. I tried googling for a general solution to "command not found" and "No such file or directory" problems but couldn't find anything that let me fix the problem. I also tried moving my racket and arc downloads to different combinations of places.
Arc runs on top of Racket, which although you've downloaded it, does not appear to be in PATH, the environment variable containing the list of folders that Bash searches for executables.
The immediate fix is to, instead of running Arc as racket -f as.scm, run it as /path/to/racket/bin/racket -f as.scm. (The Racket documentation points out that the Racket executable is in the bin folder of the Racket folder you downloaded).
Assuming that works, the fix is to add the Racket bin folder to your PATH variable. Open up ~/.bashrc in your favorite text editor, and add a line export PATH=/path/to/racket/bin:"$PATH".
Once you do this, you'll have to open a new Terminal before this change will take effect. But once you do, you should be able to just run racket -f as.scm, and it will work.
I want to create MAC installer and would like to know which type of installer suitable for my requirements?
My Requirements are
I have bash script which does following operation
Get Hardware ID and some details specific to the hardware
Construct XML
Generate PLIST
Download an DMG file from internet (Using curl)
Mount DMG
Launch .app inside the DMG.
Can you please suggest me whether I can go the DMG or use PackageMaker to create .PKG file?
Thanks
Bala
I am not aware of anyways to trigger a script on mounting a DMG. But here you have a solution by creating a PKG with pre-install/post install scripts.
Your bash script can be added as pre-install or post-install script of the PKG. It doesn't really matter whether you are adding it as pre/post install scripts, since your PKG is just going to execute the scripts and not doing any file copy etc.
If needed you can embed the PKG in a DMG, so that it becomes a mount disk. Also DMG can show the license files if needed.
When doing Ctrl+B on SublimeText3, the following error is output:
[Compiling first.tex]
TraditionalBuilder: Invoking latexmk...
COULD NOT COMPILE!
Attempted command:latexmk -cd -e $pdflatex='pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O' -f -pdf first.tex
Build engine: Traditional Builder
Running the exact same command compiles a pdf file just fine.
This answer does not solve the problem, as I've
Removed spaces around "="
Done a "Reconfigure LaTeXTools and migrate settings".
Made sure pdflatex is installed.
Made sure the path for texpath is correct.
If your command runs on terminal then most likely there is an issue either with the path or with the command itself (in the file). There has been some update to the README file by the developer:
some distros do not want a space before and after the = in $pdflatex = %E. But some do want the space there (sigh!)
sometimes latexmk is not on the PATH, or the path is not correctly picked up by ST. In this case, instead of "latexmk", use "/usr/bin/latexmk" or wherever latexmk is in your system.
some distros require quoting the $pdflatex assignment, as in "$pdflatex = \"'%E -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S %O'\""
So it might take a while but you'll find it eventually in the settings or the traditionalbuilder.py file.
Also when I tried putting /usr/bin/latexmk, latex did not produce the correct pdf (I checked it with few changes and it just opened the old pdf) but in your case it might work.
Also, at least in Arch Linux I can't run sublime with sublime-text but instead with subl so I changed that too in the settings (I don't know if it actually matters) and I needed to change the permissions for the files because user-run sublime could not access my settings files!
Im using gnat4.6 on Ubuntu installed using apt-get. I need to know where to install downloaded libraries like APQ. What should I set my ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and ADA_OBJECTS_PATH to?
The beauty of Ada support in Debian (on which Ubuntu is based) is that you don't need to mess with ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and friends; supported libraries are installed where the GNAT Project Manager expects to find them. Say gnatls -v to see the default values.
To use the system as intended, you will find it much simpler to use the GNAT Project Manager; you'd say, in your my_project.gpr file,
with "apq";
project My_Project is
...
and build with
$ gnatmake -P my_project
There's online documentation for GPR, but I wouldn't call it particularly user-friendly. There's a set of Youtube videos (I haven't looked at them in any detail; their stated interest is large systems, but hang in there).
I use gnatmake to build; how do I cite my build paths in a correct way?
The relevant options are shown in 6.2 Switches for gnatmake: Source and library search path switches.

Question 1
I am getting the following error in Latex:
! LaTeX Error: File `fancybox.sty' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)
Enter file name:
However, the file fancybox.sty is actually located in the folder from where I am running the pdflatex command. Why is not able to find it?
I just installed Latex on Ubuntu using the command
apt-get install texlive-latex-base
and the pdflatex command works.
Question 2
I want to install this texments from CTAN. Can I do this through apt-get? Is there another Easy way?
Thanks,
Ajay G.
The fancybox LaTeX package is included in the texlive-latex-extra package for Ubuntu. If you install the texlive-latex-extra package using Synaptic or apt-get, your document should compile:
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
A couple other things that may help you in the future:
The TeXLive installation in Ubuntu is currently the 2007 edition. The 2009 edition of TeXLive was just released recently (see the TeXLive website for downloads). The 2007 edition will work most of the time, but the 2009 edition contains the latest version of the packages with their bug fixes. Just a heads-up.
I'd recommend installing the full set of TeXLive package under Ubuntu so that you don't have to dig through the repository and install new files each time you want to add a new \usepackage line to your .tex file. If you install the texlive-full package, that'll cover all the bases:
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Note, however, that the full TeXLive package set is a large download and will take some time to install.
Try
apt-file -x search '/fancybox.sty$'
and you may get the answer like:
texlive-latex-recommended: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/fancybox/fancybox.sty
so "texlive-latex-recommended" is the right package to install.
Have you tried manually as it says in the official Ubuntu documentation?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX
If a package you desire is not in Ubuntu's repositories, you may look on CTAN's web site or TeX Catalogue Online to see if they have the package. If they do, download the archive containing the files. In this example, we'll install example package foo, contained in foo.tar.gz.
Once foo.tar.gz has finished downloading, we unzip it somewhere in our home directory:
tar xvf foo.tar.gz
This expands to folder foo/. We cd into foo/ and see foo.ins. We now run LaTeX on the file:
latex foo.ins
This will generate foo.sty. We now have to copy this file into the correct location. For the purposes of this example, we will copy this into our personal texmf tree. The advantages of this solution are that if we migrate our files to a new computer, we will remember to take our texmf tree with us, resulting in keeping the same packages we had. The disadvantages are that if multiple users want to use the same packages, the tree will have to be copied to each user's home folder.
We'll first create the necessary directory structure:
cd ~
mkdir -p texmf/tex/latex/foo
Notice that the final directory created is labeled foo. It is a good idea to name directories after the packages they contain. The -p attribute to mkdir tells it to create all the necessary directories, since they don't exist. Now, using either the terminal, or the file manager, copy foo.sty into the directory labeled foo.
Now, we must make LaTeX recognize the new package:
texhash ~/texmf
The new package should now be installed. To use it in your LaTeX document, merely insert \usepackage{foo} in the preamble.
It should work with the style file in the directory from where you were running the pdflatex command, but a solution to this problem is simple:
sudo cp *.sty /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/
sudo mktexlsr
