I am having trouble typing the Hamiltonian symbol into latex. I found the symbol in the http://mirrors.med.harvard.edu/ctan/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf" , however, I had some difficulties in installing the font and stuff. I am using tex-live.

I got the following error:

kpathsea: Running mktexmf rsfs10
! I can't find file `rsfs10'.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rsfs10

Is there anybody who is familiar with this? Thanks
