B.13 File not found

LaTeX can't find the file you have specified. You will be given the opportunity to type in the correct filename at the prompt. If you want to quit, simply type X followed by the return character return key symbol .

Make sure that you have spelt the filename correctly.
This error will be caused by, say,
✘ \documentclass{scrarticle}
instead of
✔ \documentclass{scrartcl}

If this is the case, simply type in the correct name at the prompt (followed by the return character ) then go back and fix the spelling in the source code .
Make sure that the file is in the same directory as your document or in the LaTeX path. If the file is in another directory (not in the LaTeX path), you will need to specify the pathname, but remember that when using LaTeX under Windows, you need to use a forward slash (/) as the directory divider, as a backslash would be interpreted as a command. For example, if you have a file called shapes.pdf in the subdirectory pictures then you would get a “file not found” error message if you did
✘ \includegraphics{shapes}
instead of
✔ \includegraphics{pictures/shapes}
If the file is a package or class file, it's possible that you don't have that file installed on your computer. If this is the case you will need to download and install it as described in Appendix A. Downloading and Installing Packages. Remember that you need to refresh the database after installing a new package or class file.
