silence and ctable

Post by MooPoint »

Hi all,
I noticed that I cannot seem to use the ctable package if I'm also using the silence package. See below. If you comment out the silence package or the ctable package it works, but it won't work together. It gives an @gobbletwo has extra } error. Any ideas how to fix this?

\documentclass{report} % document type
\usepackage{silence} % used to suppress compiler msgs
\usepackage{ctable}
\begin{document} % start document

Hi There.

\end{document}

Your code works fine for me as is. Perhaps a matter of outdated packages. Add the \listfiles command as very first line to your code and submit the file list from the newly produced log.

Yes that was it. ctable was old. I updated it and it now works. Thanks.
