texlive - tikz.sty not found

Hi everyone

I installed TeXLive (pacman -S texlive-most) and i tried to compile a document containing tikz with xelatex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw (-1.5,0) -- (1.5,0);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

but I get an error:

File "tikz.sty" not found

The file exists at:

/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pgf/frontendlayer

Any ideas / suggestions?

Re: texlive - tikz.sty not found

Try running:

sudo texhash

from a terminal and see if it helps.

If not, could you post the output of:

kpsepath tex

?

Re: texlive - tikz.sty not found

thanx for the answer

I ran texhash but "tikz.sty" is still not found.

The ouput of "kpsepath tex" is the following:

Re: texlive - tikz.sty not found

Sorry about the necro but did anyone ever find a solution to this? This thread seems to be the only search result.

The problem is 100% reproducible even within docker:

FROM archlinux
RUN set -xe \
  ; pacman -Syyuu texlive-most --noconfirm \
  ; mkdir /work \
  ; printf '\\documentclass{article}\n\\usepackage{tkiz}\n\\begin{document}\n\\end{document}\n' > /work/my.tex
RUN texhash
WORKDIR /work
CMD pdflatex my.tex

# docker run -i $(docker build -q .) </dev/null
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Arch Linux) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

Re: texlive - tikz.sty not found

So you necrobumped an 11 year old thread because you didn't bother to check for typos in your commands?  There is indeed no tkiz.sty anywhere.  But tikz.sty will work just fine.

Closing this old thread. drmoose, if you like, create a new thread that you will own.  If you think this thread appropriate, go ahead and link back to it from the new thread.
Thanks
