Problem with float package

Post by JO »

I am using texlive on ubuntu. The following tex code generates some error.

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper] {memoir}

\usepackage{algorithm}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

The error is in float.sty at line 68: Command \newfloat already defined. {}}}.

How do debug this problem? It has no problem with Miktex.

Hi JO,

welcome to the board!
I did not get an error using TeX Live 2009 on Ubuntu Linux.
