TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ Troubles With Memoir and MacTeX

[cjohnson]

Hello. I have a document I've been working on for the past week on a Windows system with MikTeX. Yesterday I decided I wanted to work on my MacBook, which has MacTeX installed, but quickly ran into trouble. This isn't my only trouble, but one thing I've had issues with is using the pedersen chapterstyle in the memoir document class.

As an example, the following code

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{memoir}
\begin{document}
\chapterstyle{pedersen}  
\chapter{Uno}
Stuff.
\end{document}

produces the error

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \resizebox 
                      {!}{\midchapskip }{\chapnumfont \thechapter }
l.4 \chapter{Uno}

when I run 'xelatex test.tex'. I don't know if this is something really minor that I'm not seeing or if I'm missing something with my MacTeX install or what, so any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

loading the graphicx package will fix it:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}

What you said worked, but I have another issue now. The image below was generated using MikTeX on Windows,

The same code, when run through MacTeX on OS X gives this, however:

The actual code that's in the images above is

Code: Select all

\chapter{Semigroups \& Monoids} 
One of the most basic algebraic structures we can place on a set is
that of a magma.  A \definition{def:magma}{magma} is simply a set
along with a binary operation -- some way of
\marginpar{A binary operation on a set $S$ is a function $\cdot : S
  \times S \to S$ where we usually write $x \cdot y$ for $\cdot(x, y)$.}
combining two elements in the set and
getting another element in the set.

Where I'm using the memoir document class and the following in my preamble:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\marginparwidth}{1.2in}
\definecolor{grey}{gray}{0.5}
\let\oldmarginpar\marginpar
\renewcommand\marginpar[1]{\-\oldmarginpar[\raggedleft\footnotesize \textcolor{grey}{#1}]%
{\raggedright\footnotesize \textcolor{grey}{#1}}}

\let\oldchapter\chapter
\renewcommand\chapter[1]{\chapterstyle{pedersen} \oldchapter{#1}}

Any ideas?

Check the versions you are using of all of your packages with \listfles. It's quite likely one or more do not match.
