Why does LaTeX not render my gantt-diagram into pdf

Question

Hi,

is there anybody out there, with experiences about how to do a gantt-diagram / chart using latex.

I tryed it for a lot of hours today, lastly it worked switching outpout from pdf to dvi. Maybe someone can tell me what to include, besides pst-gantt, and the normal pstricks stuff.

It showed more than 100 errors for 4 Tasks.. after switching to dvi there was a big 0.

i am using the whole distribution mitex .. upgradet to the newest version. stupidly i have the error log not avaible on this computer. but it was always the same error. i was using pst-gantt, outload missing packages.. hm errors will follow tomorrow morning

Reading the pst-gantt README it looks like this depends on the pstricks package. I believe that the "ps" is for postscript and the functionality is implemented by generating DVI "special" commands; which means that you can't produce output pdf directly using pdflatex. You can get to PDF output, but you must go by way of DVI. Either source->DVI->PDF or even source->DVI->PS->PDF.
