PostScript Error
The generated PostScript is corrupt. To solve this
problem, do the following:
- Generate PostScript code directly using 'dvips'
with the [dvi] option on.
- Preview the code using 'ghostview' or 'gs'.
- If the error persists, the problem is very likely
not related to iTe. Check your '\special'
directives or macros which produce '\special', such
as PS-Tricks macros.
- If there is no PostScript error, the version of
'dvips' may be inconsistent with the version of iTe.
- Get the newest version of iTe.
- If your version of 'dvips' is older than 5.58,
then get a newer version.
- If 'dvips' is of a current release, then you found an iTe bug and should file a bug report.
Cannot find all iTe objects
While parsing the (La)TeX source code, not all active iTe objects were found. The most
likely reason for this is an inadequate use of the '\ite' directive.
- Do not include naked (not contained in an iteblock
environment) '\ite' directives from other files via '\input' or
'\include'.
- Do not rebind the '\ite' macro.
Spurious iTe object in (La)TeX source
While parsing the (La)TeX source, iTe has mistaken
an inactive iTe object for an active iTe object.
The reasons could be
- You have loaded the iTe package using the 'dvi'
or 'graphics' option, for example with
'\usepackage[dvi]{ite}'. In this case, all objects
are inactive, which is not what you want. Don't use
these options when running iTe.
- You have used some weird TeX construct, for example
'\string\ite', for which iTe's parser is too dumb to
see that the '\ite' directive is not expanded.
Argument syntax error
Arguments to an '\ITE' directive is
corrupt. A correct syntax should look like
\ITE(123 123 1.3 -10)
for example.
DVI file outdated
The dvi-file does not exist or is older than the (La)TeX source file. Please
recompile the source before using iTe again.
Buffer modified
The buffer with the (La)TeX source was modified
but not saved. Please save and recompile the source.
Generating PostScript failed
iTe was not able to translate the DVI-file into a PostScript file.
Please see the log-buffer for more details.
The reasons for failure could be one of
- 'dvips' could not be executed, i.e., is not in your search path.
- 'perl' could not be executed, i.e., is not in your search path.
- Versions of files in the iTe distribution are inconsistent.
'ite.el', 'ite.pl', 'ite.sty' and 'ite.ps' must all be of the
same version.
- iTe was unable to read the (La)TeX log-file.
- You did not load the iTe-package at all. Insert
'usepackage{ite}' in the header of the (La)TeX source.
- There are no iTe blocks, and thus no active ite objects,
in the (La)TeX source.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
