Document Classes ⇒ Re: ! LaTeX Error: Command \algorithm* already defined.

[localghost]

Just for information to other users for awareness of possibly already existing solutions. The question has also been posted to MrUnix and goLaTeX (two German LaTeX forums) and already got an answer. Please read what our administrator thinks about that.

A crossposting is always contra-productive. But there is nothing really against it as long as it is mentioned. This means that a direct link has to be added. So other users who want to help are preserved from double efforts and waste of time.

The class defines a theorem-like environment algorithm. Contact the class maintainer(s) and ask for help. There is detailed contact information on the mentioned site for the case of upcoming problems.

I have exactly that problem:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Command \algorithm* already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

I managed to undefine the algorithm environment as follows:

\makeatletter
\let\algorithm\@undefined
\let\endalgorithm\@undefined
\makeatother

but when I tried the same thing for algorithm* :

\makeatletter
\let\algorithm\@undefined
\let\endalgorithm\@undefined
\let\algorithm*\@undefined
\let\endalgorithm*\@undefined
\makeatother

I got the LaTex error:

Undefined control sequence.
1.6 \let\algorithm*\@undefined

Can anyone tell me how to undefine the algorithm* environment?

Hi and welcome,

please open a new thread. A minimal working example would also be needed in order to help.
