Dear PSTrickers,

    I recently downloaded the pst-gantt package to try and create a 
gantt chart. However, I am
having problems getting started. I typed in one of the examples from the 
user guide and put
what I thought was the correct latex around it as follows:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pst-gantt}
\begin{document}
\begin{PstGanttChart}[yunit=1.5,ChartUnitIntervalName=Year,
                ChartUnitBasicIntervalName=Month,
                TaskUnitIntervalValue=12,TaskUnitType=Year,
                ChartShowIntervals]{4}{4}
\PstGanttTask[TaskInsideLabel={Task 1}]{0}{1}
\PstGanttTask[TaskInsideLabel={Task 2},TaskUnitType=Month]{6}{24}
\PstGanttTask[TaskInsideLabel={Task 3}]{2}{2}
\PstGanttTask[TaskInsideLabel={Task 4}]{3}{1}
\end{PstGanttChart}
\end{document}

When I run the code through latex, I get the following output and error:

?

    Have I set up the calling file incorrectly? Am I missing something?

    I am using the tetex package which comes via fink under mac OS 10.5.

    Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Thank you,

       Peter Johnston.
