Presentations and Posters ⇒ Version changes and keyval errors

[crisurdiales]

Hi,

I have a Beamer presentation back from 2010 I wanted to reuse and modify. Back then, it compiled perfectly, but I've been trying to recompile it now (with no changes) and it gives this error everytime.

"beamer "package keyval error" currentsubsection* undefined"

I've been looking around and I've found that some users solved it with beamer colors (\setbeamercolor{normal text}{fg=teal}) but this solution is not working for me (indeed, I had my own colors defined back them, too).

I can provide the header (although it is large), but the thing is that it worked fine back in the days. Every package in my Latex distribution has been updated, so it is probably a back compatibility issue?

Anyone has found this problem as well?

Thanks for any help you may provide,

C-

You can post the code here. If it's big, you can post it as attachment. The Attachments link is right below the text edit field, when writing a post. If it's still readable, you can post it right inline in a post. There's a Code button at the top for writing, it does syntax highlighting and online compiler connection.

Actually there's no need for posting a huge preamble. You can take a copy and reduce it, step by step, as long as the error keeps appearing when testing. This pretty much isolates the issue, and it gets more readable here for checking.

Thanks for the tip. I'm attaching the header here. All the slides follow the same format, so one should be enough for reference. I'm using Versión 3.99 (3.99) in MacOS 10.9.5 (I don't think it's relevant except last version of TexLive is not compatible, but just in case)

It's caused by this line:

\tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection*]

There's no problem with \tableofcontents[currentsection].

Thanks, I'm going to try it right now
