[solved] texlive problem - supertabular environment not recognized

Question

Hey!
I want to use supertabular but actually it's not working… I cannot see why.
kpsewhich supertabular.sty
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/supertabular/supertabular.sty
There shouldn't be problems with permissions also:
ls -la $(kpsewhich supertabular.sty)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Jun 26 08:01 /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/supertabular/supertabular.sty
It should be installed inside of http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … atexextra/
pacman -Qs texlive-latexextra
local/texlive-latexextra 2012.26807-1 (texlive-most)
TeX Live - Large collection of add-on packages for LaTeX
So it is. I also ran
sudo texhash
several times but it's still not recognized. My LaTeX Editor is latexila from AUR if this somehow important.
Maybe someone have an idea? I'd love to hear some ideas on this since I'm confused all over…
Cheers!

Answer 1

Yes, for sure Trilby! Sorry, I don't know how to entitle this thread exactly since I don't get what goes wrong here…
Some sample file I tried to compile that failed @ line 11 where "supertabular" occurs:
http://sprunge.us/HGbH?latex
or
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\title{foo}
\author{bar}
\begin{document}
\begin{supertabular}{rrrr}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
2 & 4 & 16 & 2 \\
3 & 9 & 81 & 6 \\
4 & 16 & 256 & 24 \\
\end{supertabular}
\end{document}
Any ideas?
EDIT: Totally forgot…
! LaTeX Error: Environment supertabular undefined.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
l.11 egin{supertabular}
{rrrr}
This is the most helpful error I get at the moment…
Oh shit… I found the error… missing usepackage… whoupadoup! xD
Sorry for that big trouble. Marked as solved.
