Description: Problems compiling callouts with PGF package.
This is a known upstream bug. See for example

http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.text.tex/2010-12/msg00595.html

Updating to latest pgf should fix it

Additional info:

Needs pgf packages (texlive-pictures I guess)


Steps to reproduce: Compile the following latex file

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.callouts}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node at (0,0) [shape=rectangle, draw]{origin};
\node at (3,4) [ellipse callout, callout absolute pointer={(0,0)}, draw]%
{Test node};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
This task depends upon

The placement of nodes in general is broken -- all nodes seem to be drawn at (0,0). A minimal example is as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
(0,0) \node {$X$};
(10,0) \node {$Y$};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

X and Y are rendered at the same location.

This appears to be a problem with the current release pgf 2.10. Downgrading to pgf 2.00 in my local texmf tree fixes the problem for me.
