[pstricks] 3d "arrows"

When I run your code, Miktex stops at pstricks-add (or pst-plot, included in
it) with error messag:

("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX
2.9\tex\generic\pstricks-add\pstricks-add.tex"
("C:\Users\Main
User\AppData\Local\MiKTeX\2.9\tex\generic\pst-plot\pst-plot.tex
"  v1.10, 2010/02/11

! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.1006 \psset{labelFontSize={},mathLabel=true}

?

but when I comment out \usepackage{pstricks-add}, it works fine. Any idea
what is going wrong?

Thanks,

Per
