undefined control sequence \addto

does anybody know what this error message means?

undefined control sequence
...} {Dr. Johannes Söding} {15. Oktober 2008}

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

my code is:
\maketitlepage{Diplomarbeit} {Lehrstuhl für\\ Genomorientierte Bioinformatik} {Improvement of Automated Structure Prediction} {Andrea Hildebrand} {Prof. Dr. Dmitrij Frishman} {Dr. Johannes Söding} {15. Oktober 2008}

but a sty-file is used (which i dont know how to open)
does anybody have an idea what i can do?

Hi,

is this all you got of the error? Nothing missing?
Perhaps \maketitlepage is not defined or has to be written differently.

If it's defined in your cls or sty file we need to see it's code, you could post it as attachment here in the forum.

I want to import a latex template, which was created by a college institute designated for Latex.

The final template is also divided in several sub-files (like chapter1, chapter2 etc).
There is a folder, which includes several files, corresponing to the final template and the sub-files,
the content is:

I tried with the smaller sub-files as well, to reduce the error-sources, but the errors are still the same.

I wonder, when importing a .tex-file, there are some Latex-Codes in the Main-Lyx window still availible.

Would be very thankful, if someone could help me!
Thanks in advance
sincerely

Hi Pooz,

welcome to the board!
Perhaps a package defining a certain macro is missing. What is the exact and complete error message? Perhaps take it from the file template.log and post it here, or post the complete template.log file.

Thanks, Stefan_K,

1) after importing the template.tex and trying to view it as .pdf, there are a lot of error messages. Is there a way to copy all of them, instead of selecting them individually? (The template.log in this folder was not created by me, it is delivered by the institue providing the template [They created them on Windows, I am using LyX on Mac OS X 10.4.11)

I will show 3 of them:

Hi pooz,

because this topic is already a bit old, could you solve some of the problems? Which are still unsolved?
