General ⇒ Beamer and MacTex (TexLive-2010)

[r7stuart]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard (fresh install) and the latest MacTex distribution (based on TexLive-2010). I've been trying to compile beamer presentations using TexMaker, but getting an 'undefined control sequence' message when I do so. It seems the control sequence in question is the \begin{frame} \end{frame} pair. Here's a test case that fails:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Hello
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I believe MacTex installs tend to be fairly complete, so I'm confused as to what's wrong. I've manually checked that beamer.cls et al are in the correction locations... any thoughts?

Edit: thanks for the pointers below. I'll dig through the log file and look for more specific info on the problem.

The exact error message can be found in the log file.
