Document Classes ⇒ xcolor package and beamer

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I strongly recommend to update your LaTeX installation. MiKTeX 2.4 is obsolete since a long time, even MiKTeX 2.5 package support will end this year. The current version is MiKTeX 2.7. Of course your beamer class and your pgf versions are also too old as I can see in the log file.
Probably the problem will vanish if this update would have been made.

My version of pgf (around 2007) contains only two \RequirePackage lines for xcolor, both without any options. So I'm quite sure the problem will go away after an upgrade.

I tried to uninstall previous tex version from add/remove programs, and it didn't work. I had two directories with tex: "C:\localtexmf","C:\texmf" and I not delete it. So, I install MikTex 2.7 on "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7", and in MikTex Option I add path to new version. Now, it's working except one error

Code: Select all

(C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\generic\babel\babel.def
File: babel.def 2008/07/06 v3.8l Babel common definitions
LaTeX Info: Redefining \textlatin on input line 82.
! Undefined control sequence.
\main@language ...bbl@main@language \bbl@patterns 
                                                  {\languagename }
l.131 \main@language{english}

If I type "r" I can sea the pdf, and it's look fine, except for the first slide where there are two words : "english" above the slide. Maybe, there is some conflict with previous version, because there are now all tree path in MikTex Option->roots, and if I remove some of them, it's not working at all.

Hi,

have a look at Updating babel, this could solve it.

sorry about reviving an old thread but i'm a little new to this and am undergoing the same problems despite having tried all the solutions. I keep getting the undefined color error and i'm not sure what's going on! this happens whether or not i include the xcolor package with the table argument (and if i do, it gives me the package error!) i've attached a simple version of my slide. I am using texniccenter to compile this.

I am not good in LateX, but maybe I can help. I get error with color for rowcolor, command \rowcolor{NavyBlue}. If I change color for example to lightgray,orange,... it is work. I don't find why is that, but maybe it can help you.
