If I try to typeset

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate*}[label=\arabic)]
\item ohai
\item yes
\end{enumerate*}
\end{document}

I see the following error:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

ERROR: Missing number, treated as zero.
 
--- TeX said ---
<to be read again> 
                    \c@) 
l.5 \item o
            hai

If I try the following code

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}}[label=\emph{\alph*})]
\item ohai
\item yes
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

I see the following error:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

ERROR: Missing number, treated as zero.
 
--- TeX said ---
<to be read again> 
                    \c@* 
l.4 \begin{enumerate}}[label=\emph{\alph*}
                                           )]

How can I fix the error? By the way, I installed texlive on manjaro linux.

Hi Mado,

I think you need to add a star. Use \arabic*:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate*}[label=\arabic*)]
\item ohai
\item yes
\end{enumerate*}
\end{document}

You're right. How could I miss *?
