Tikzducks-generic file missing? about tikzducks HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for the report!

I'm having problems to reproduce the issue you report. Could you please tell me

1. which tex distribution you use (texlive, miktex?)
2. which engine do you use to compile (pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex,...)

from tikzducks.

@Leviathantheesper I suspect you installed the package manually, which can go wrong very easily if you are not familiar with the TDS. Please install the package with your TeX distribution’s package manager. For example on TeX Live

$ sudo tlmgr install tikzducks

This is a MiKTeX issue afaik.

I'm using MiKTeX (I notice I didn't mention I use windows 10), and I'm trying to compile pdflatex. It seems it's a MiKTeX issue, according to the link joulev posted. Since the file can be downloaded I expected I would be able to fix it by pasting it in the appropiate location but I haven't figured out where is that.

Also it works correctly when I use overleaf so it's indeed something in my end (MiKTeX I suppose).

@Leviathantheesper As a temporary workaround until this gets fixed in miktex, you can download https://github.com/samcarter/tikzducks/blob/master/tikzducks-generic.tex and place it in your working folder

That works.
