I have downloaded this package that allows to me to include poker card symbols in my LaTeX document. I followed this post to install the new package, except that I installed the package into /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/poker. Following the doc inside the package I have tried to compile these few lines 

\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{poker}
\begin{document}
\begin{cards}
\crdAs 
\end{cards}
\end{document}

LaTeX localizes the package, but is unable to understand new commands

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/txfonts/ot1txr.fd)
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \scaleboxto 
                   (\pkr@pvw ,\pkr@pvh ){\pkr@col \sf \pkr@val }
l.5 \crdAs

returning me weird output. Have I made some mistake? Where is the error?

  • The page you refer to says "switch from \scaleboxto to \psscaleboxto"; saying \let\scaleboxto\psscaleboxto after \usepackage{poker} may possibly solve the issue. – egreg Dec 26 '12 at 13:55
  • thanx for the tip, no more error during compilation but persisting weird output :( – emanuele Dec 26 '12 at 13:58
  • After downloading the latest version from the site I get no error (there's no trace of \scaleboxto in the package) – egreg Dec 26 '12 at 14:07
  • How do you translate your file? The package uses PS-Tricks, so pdflatex may not work, you need latex. – knut Dec 26 '12 at 14:18
  • I have tryied. Still weird output. – emanuele Dec 26 '12 at 14:19
  • As far as I can tell, the latest version of poker seems to require a recent version of PSTricks; update your old and outdated TeX Live. – egreg Dec 26 '12 at 14:39
  • I had removed PSTrikcs and reinstalled from repositories, but still does not works. May be I have to download the latest source from project web site? – emanuele Dec 26 '12 at 16:33
