A working example of fancytabs

Question

I tried fancytabs by the example given in its manual as

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\usepackage{fancytabs}
\usepackage{lipsum}
% Capture chapter head
\let\oldchapter\chapter
\newcommand\temphead{}
\newcommand\chaphead{}
\renewcommand\chapter[2][\temphead]{%
\renewcommand\temphead{#2}%
\renewcommand\chaphead{#2}%
\oldchapter[#1]{#2}}
% Set central right header to display tab
% for both scrplain and scrheadings
\cohead[\fancytab{\chaphead}{\thechapter}]
{\fancytab{\chaphead}{\thechapter}}

\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrplain}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\begin{document}
\chapter{A chapter}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}

but it does not show the vertical lab displayed in the manual document or HERE. I just copied the exact example from manual. Where did I do wrong?

You have to compile twice. – Marco Daniel Apr 19 '12 at 18:27 — Marco Daniel, Apr 19 '12 at 18:27

The package fancytabs uses the package TikZ to draw the tabs. To compute the correct position of the tabs TikZ needs two compilation runs of (pdf)latex.
