Hendri:
I'm trying to set up powerdot:
http://stuwww.uvt.nl/~hendri/index.html?/~hendri/Downloads/powerdot.html&mainframeha
I've managed to set it up part way. I found that I needed xkeyval and
geometry. So I got the latest versions of those from CTAN
http://tug.ctan.org/get?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval.zip
http://tug.ctan.org/get?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/geometry.zip
and added them to my path:
setenv TEXINPUTS /home/strawberry/toms/tools/powerdot/distrib/run:/home/strawberry/toms/tools/xkeyval/xkeyval/run:/home/strawberry/toms/tools/geometry/geometry:
So far so good. But when I run latex:
latex powerdot-example1.tex
it fails:

I don't see what to do next. Can you help?
Thanks!
