[pstricks] FW: Problem compiling pstricks related files

[Bruce Burlton]

Further to below, I have pretty much determined that the problem is
associated with the recent update to MikTex, that I downloaded earlier
today.  Using my home computer, WITHOUT the update, everything works fine

 

Don't know how  or who to report the problem to

 

Thanks

 

Bruce

Subject: Problem compiling pstricks related files

 

I have been using LaTeX and pstricks for some ten to twelve years
successfully, preparing many beamer based lectures and other documents.

 

Now, as I try to update some of my lectures today I find I cannot compile
any of my files.

 

While I used to use latex=>dvips=>ps2pdf and then pdflatex, this no longer
seems to work.  Also using xelatex does not seem to work, which has been my
standard approach for a few years

 

The simple file demonstrates my problem

 

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pstricks,pst-3dplot}%

 

\begin{document}

 

    \begin{pspicture}(-5,-2.5)(5,4)%

%      \psset{Alpha=15}%,Beta=90}%

%      \psgrid

      \pstThreeDCoor[xMin=0,yMin=0,zMin=0]%
inertial frame

 
\pstThreeDSphere[increment=30,SegmentColor={[cmyk]{0,0,0,0}}](0,0,0){1.5}%
Earth

    \end{pspicture}

 

\end{document}

 

When using xelatex, I do not get any lines, just the labels for the three
axes

 

Am I doing something wrong or is something broken. It seems that I no longer
know how to compile documents that contain pstricks "code".  This problem
seems to have arisen after an update to parts of miktex, which I did today.
