I'm trying run pdflatex, but I get this one very unusual error. I've downloaded xypic from CTAN, and it still seems that pdflatex is unable to find some documents that are supposedly related to that package (I did texhash). Here's the output:
Xy-pic version 3.8.4 <2010/10/11>

Best Answer
You may have to enable the xy-pic font map file running
updmap-sys
:If you installed LaTeX from the Debian repositories, you could install the LaTeX package bundle which contains xy-pic, it's
texlive-pictures
, see package information.If you installed LaTeX using tlmgr, use tlmgr as well for the installation of xy-pic.
or
Note, the package may be called xypic instead of xy-pic.
