I encountered a problem when trying to run pdfLaTeX using Texmaker: I get
log file not found
for the test "hello world" script.
I tried reinstalling MikTeX and Texmaker, but still get the same problem.
Anybody has any idea?

I have "log file not found" errors, but the PDF is successfully generated.
This appears to be caused by the -output-directory=/tmp option in my configuration for the latex executable. Texmaker looks for the logfile in the same directory as your source file.
I was able to solve this by creating an empty file in the same directory as my .tex file.
For example, if your file is called
myfile.tex
, create an empty file in that same directory calledmyfile.log
. It suppresses the error.You can also
ln -s /tmp/myfile.log ./
in your project directory, which suppresses the error and shows you the error logif you makewhen you make errors.I am using Texmaker v3.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.
