Document Classes ⇒ Compiling BEAMER slides

[drorata]

Dear all,

today I tried to create a new presentation using BEAMER and I got an error. Here is the code I used:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[ucs,9pt,hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}
\usepackage{default}
\title{Title}
\author{Me}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Origins}
Some text
\end{frame}
\end{document}

and I got the following error:

Undefined control sequence. \begin{document}

as the first error.

I then tried to compile old sources and in all I got the same error.

Finally, I have found the problem. Or at least a solution that worked for me. According to these: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.tex ... 525b7fcddb and http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2 ... 24848.html

It seems like the problem is related to the geometry package. For me both solutions worked, and I think I'll be using the second one, since otherwise I will have to change all my old .tex beamer files.

I hope you'd find this useful,
Dror

Your sample code compiles just fine for me.

If the problem persists, try adding \listfiles to the source, and post the complete log file here.

Thanks for the quick reply!

As I have updated, for me the problem was real, and the solution worked fine.

As far as I understood, this is sort of a known issue.
