General ⇒ Incomprehensible error: No counter defined

[Spectrum]

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Well, actually, I have hordes of errors in my LaTeX file, so I am trying to narrow them down using \includeonly. But I really don't understand what TeX is doing. I still get tons of errors from the parts of my project that I have deleted, which TeX shouldn't be reading at all.

Here is my main file, Test.tex:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{book}
\includeonly{Utilities/UsePackages}
\include{Utilities/UsePackages}
\begin{document}
\include{Utilities/InputFiles}
\end{document}

It includes two files. "Utilities/UsePackages" looks like this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{cuted}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{verbatim}
%\usepackage{showidx}
\usepackage[pdftex,colorlinks,pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref}

And "Utilities/InputFiles" is empty:

Code: Select all

When I try to compile Test.tex, I get this:

[PDFLaTeX] Test.tex => Test.pdf (pdflatex)
[PDFLaTeX] finished with exit status 1

./Test.tex:5:No counter 'Runger war' defined. \include{Utilities/InputFiles}
[PDFLaTeX] 13 errors, 0 warnings, 0 badboxes

All these errors made sense in my original, big project. But now I have deleted everything except the lines I showed above. And still the error messages persist.

Can someone please help me: What is TeX doing? Where do these errors come from?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I am using Kile under Linux.

Solved.

I found the solution to my problem at the TeX newsgroup.

Deleting aux files did not worked for me. I was using LyX and got a latex error: no counter "maxmatrixcols" defined. Make sure the package that defines the variable it is included. In my case, it was that amsmath package was not included automatically by LyX (as selected in LyX document settings, math options) Why not? I do not know. Anyway, after choosing to use AMS math package (always), no more latex errors were reported.
