<p dir="auto">Dear Herbert:</p>
<p dir="auto">I have the same problem with beamer, although I use a MacTex system. I heavily rely on pstricks on my beamer presentations, and after the last update of pstricks, beamer presentations with pstricks code do not compile. The error that keeps repeating is the following (cambio.tex is the name of the file):<br>
./cambio.tex:45: Argument of \@firstofone has an extra }.<br>
<inserted text> <br>
\par <br>
l.45 \begin{document}</p>
<p dir="auto">Runaway argument?<br>
./cambio.tex:45: Paragraph ended before \@firstofone was complete.<br>
<to be read again> <br>
\par <br>
l.45 \begin{document}</p>
<p dir="auto">./cambio.tex:45: Undefined control sequence.<br>
\Call@AtVeryEndDocument ...cumentHook \@undefined <br>
\global \let \Call@AtVeryE...<br>
l.45 \begin{document}</p>
<p dir="auto">./cambio.tex:45: Argument of \@firstofone has an extra }.<br>
<inserted text> <br>
\par <br>
l.45 \begin{document}</p>
<p dir="auto">Runaway argument?</p>
<p dir="auto">I am attaching a copy of the log in case it could be of any use.</p>

several years old, with only a few recent modifications. Before noon, I<br>
was able to compile successfully using XeLaTeX. Over the lunch hour I<br>
update MikTex, in two steps, as indicated: first removing “old” packages<br>
and second installing the new ones. Now pstricks based “graphics” are<br>
no longer render properly: lines, circles and other pstricks based<br>
constructs are missing, while text is shown.</p>

to run any program. It looks like a MiKTeX bug. What happens<br>
if you run a file without using PSTricks?<br>

Xdvipdfmx: warning: image format conversion for Pstricks failed<br>

These lines are repeated several times through the log, presumable once<br>

Not sure if the is a PSTRICKS or N=Miktex problem<br>

Thanks for any assistance<br>
