I am submitting a manuscript through Editorial Manager. I am getting this error. The manuscript successfully compiles on my local computer and also on WriteLatex which I used for editing. As I am new to Latex, I don't know how to fix this. This is compiled on the server side, so I cannot modify the installation folder. The problem is that I don't even know which line is causing the error in my manuscript file. Could someone please help me? The deadline for submission is today.
It says
I can't find file 'tikzlibrarypositioning.code.tex'... l.32 \usetikzlibrary{positioning} but I don't even declare that as a package. Is it one of the packages I use that imports that? How do I know which one? These are my imports:
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}

Best Answer
Too late for your submission, but I just ran into the very same issue with editorial manager. I had tikz code in my paper and I needed it to compile. My fix was uploading
tikzlibrarypositioning.code.texandtikzlibrarybackgrounds.code.texfrom TeX Live additionally to my manuscript. The files are available in the svn repository of TeX Live. Maybe that is helpful for someone else.
