LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ errors with ctable Topic is solved

[sam.illingworth]

Hi,

I am writing my PhD thesis, and am trying to use the ctable package to construct a table. However I keep getting the following error message:

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

! Package caption Error: For a successful cooperation we need at least version '2002/01/23 v 2.1' of package subfigure , but only version '1995/03/06 v2.0 subfigure package' is available.

I have updated the subfigure package on MikTex, and am starting to pull mt hair out! Please could someone help?

Here is my preamble:

And here is my ctable:

Hi Sam,

! Package caption Error: For a successful cooperation we need at least version '2002/01/23 v 2.1' of package subfigure , but only version '1995/03/06 v2.0 subfigure package' is available.

This means it's definitely v2.0 (from 1995) of the subfigure package which was loaded.

Maybe there is an old subfigure.sty within your documents folder? Or within a private TeX folder? Both would prevent TeX from taken the actual one from MikTeX.

If you take a look at your documents log file you'll see where TeX has loaded subfigure.sty from. You should find something like this there:

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

...
(C:\Programme\MiKTeX\tex\latex\subfigure\subfigure.sty
Package: subfigure 2002/07/30 v2.1.4 subfigure package
...

HTH,
Axel

Axel,

What a wonderful person you are, I did indeed have an old subfigure.sty file in my directory, and all is now well with the world again. Thank you so much for your help.

Extremely sorry, but I cannot understand how to solve this issure. I have installed every possible packages. But the problem is still there. Please help.
