Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hello,

I stumbled upon a (for me) confusing error with ctable.

In the first document, if I import ctable as package, all tables (tabular(x)) which use the p{width} or X etc. argument for line breaking extend over the page border (e.g. overfull \hbox (450.79135pt too wide), including my ctables.
This even occurs if I use the examples from the manual.

As soon as I disable ctable, all other tables return to normal.

Im using Tex Live 2010 on Mac, with Texmaker.
I already updated to the latest version of ctable. I tried updating all other packages as well, but ran into versioning conflicts with some Oberdiek packages.

Thanks for any help or advice,
Jörn

For anyone experiencing a similar problem, I found the solution:
Including

\usepackage{pdfsync}

lead to my problem, so there seems to be some sort of packaging conflict.

Should be no problem nowadays. The package isn't needed anyway. With SyncTeX there is a technology that makes this package superfluous.
