Hi,

is the 24st line empty or perhaps filled with characters that are just not displayed? You might want to attach your tex file, or better a MWE so we could reproduce your problem.

Maybe adding the inputenc package solves this problem, but thats just a wild guess.

It is very likely that the notified error is an aftereffect. The \dominitoc command collects information from other places in the document. So the actual error might be located elsewhere. And this makes locating and fixing it much more difficult.

This is a case where you have to cut the problem down to a minimal example. Create a copy of your document and reduce the code as long as the problem persists. This will be the example you can post here. Note that this example has to be compilable for everybody else, thus mustn't read external files.

By the way, it is better to post the exact error message or attach the complete log file instead of attaching just a picture with only poor information.

==> it's strange because when i compil on linux i haven't problems
i have made this latex file on linux with texmaker, when i compil it's good but when i compil on windows (with texmaker too) it's don't works...

My log file is attached.

[…] it's strange because when i compil on linux i haven't problems :roll:

Then I wonder why the log file, which is obviously produced with TeX Live 2009 on Debian, shows exactly the described error messages.

i don't understand sorry […]

The errors appear on your Linux system as well.

Then you should improve it.
