Just a quick update to this post. I resolved one other issue ... However, I was getting no room for a new string and no room for a new write errors when I went from 26 to 27 to 28.tex in the main file.

I renamed the main latex file to be <someword>28.tex and it built. From what I can tell, if you have ...

No room for a new string is taken from the above log, so it is there, but I think you are correct that the write is the proper error.

Regardless, even after moving to a new directory, I ran into another similar cryptic error. This time it is apparently a well-known capacity Tex exceeded error, text input ...

The error message is: "! No room for a new \write." not "No room for a new \string"!

It seems there are to many simultaneously opened *.toc files. and it seems that 10.tex reads recursively 10.tex. Without a really complete minimal working example I cannot say more than already explained.

I'm seeing strange behavior when using pdflatex on a directory ... pdf, and sometimes it would not. The errors were also not consistent. Sometimes it was No room for a new \string, or \write. Later it was "capacity exceeded". The error in stdout looks something like this:
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex ...

LaTeX has a limit of 16 open files, and many packages open them.

There are 3 solutions for this error:


Use LuaLaTeX, and the limit will be the limit in the operating systems (never tried)
Use the packages morewrites (used it for a while but later hit in a bug)
Use the package scrwfile from KOMA ...

For an adequate problem description please prepare a self-contained and minimal example .

Furthermore we would appreciate ... in a serious forum here and not in a chat room. m(

And you should not mix different topics in one thread . Therefore this question has been split to a new thread.

Please always provide a minimal example which is reduced to only relevant code that must be compilable for others as provided. Your example reads external files that are not present to others. And by the way, I don't think that »palatino« is a valid option for the »report« class.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,palatino]{report}

\usepackage{minitoc}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{setspace ... I get the error "No room for a new \write ?". Can someone show me the issue pl?

I expect your windows machines have etex and the unix ones just have tex. (Check the log file.) Try adding the etex package.

Hi Folks!

I encounter a problem while creating a template for a LaTeX based proposal.

I use several write-cmd's inside the template and everything works fine (except i could need more than 16 writes ...)

Now a strange Problem occures ...

My template works fine on windows machines, but don't with unix ...
