I recently installed the TeXLive 2007 distribution (on an XP machine) as
well as following the instructions for installing proTeXt per "The Quickest
Way to a TeX System." This included downloading and installing Ghostscript
and GSview. Now I'm ready to follow the instructions on page 11 of the
manual:
1. "Start TeXnicCenter, and compose your document." Here I loaded a TeX
file which had previously been compiled using PCTeX.
2. "Select and Output Profile..." I selected TeX => DVI since this is
the mode I've operated in for at least 20 years. (I'm not a LaTeX user.)
3. "Click on the icon for Build current file... Do this as many times as
needed to resolve all cross references..." I click on the icon and the
*only* thing that occurs is the message
------Output Profile: TeX => DVI -----
appears on the Build tab at the bottom of the screen. There are no error
messages or anything. Just in case it compiled and I didn't know it, I
clicked on the View Output icon and the message "Cannot execute the command"
appears.
What am I missing or not doing? I know I have some cross references that
need to be resolved, but I did not get a single error message. Again,
nothing happened.
Please advise.
