Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing the following problem with latex. A tex file using using the beamer documentclass and the pstricks package will not compile properly. To be more precise, latex-ing results in a dvi file but the pspictures are missing. When using pdflatex I’m repeatedly prompted with a ?. Replying with enter all the time gives a pdf file without the pictures again.
I’m running 11.2 with KDE and the normal preinstalled texlive. Version 2008-13-15.1-x86_64 from the Update repo that is.
A minimal example where this happens would be:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[xcolor=pst]{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Test
\begin{figure}
\begin{pspicture}(6,4)
\psline(0.4,1.8)(4.4,3.8)
\end{pspicture}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Now when I latex:
> latex minimal.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7)
%&-line parsing enabled.

The dvi file just says “Test” but shows no picture.
There are several messages, none of which seem to have anything to do with pstricks. A google search suggests, that they come from a conflict between beamer and hyperref.
I’m really stuck here. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!
