Document Classes ⇒ beamer | Problem with new Dimension Register

[coachbennett1981]

Good morning, well, at least it is morning the District of Columbia. I keep getting this error in my .tex files using beamer. These files were created in 2009 (MikeTeX) I have since upgraded and I get the following error when I try to compile my file. I can still get my pdf output, but I would like to know why the error exists.

Code: Select all

l.1702 \newdimen\chart@ColorStep

I am attaching the entire file..

Seems that something has gone wrong.

Hi,

as Thorsten mentioned, you probably forgot the attachment. Just an addition, the error message is incomplete, the actual error is missing, just the code line can be seen where it occured.

I guess the error could be "No room for a new dimen", as the problem occured with \newdimen. You could check that. It's possible that it would not be a serious error, but TeX is out of resources because of too many packages. In that case you could extend the resources by using etex capabilities.

Just add

Code: Select all

\usepackage{etex}

to your preamble, preferably at the beginning, before the other packages, so it could have effect before the error occurs.

If the guess would be correct, it's luck then next time just show more information such as code and error messages or .log file. If not, we will see and check the following additional information.

Sorry I did hit the attach file after the upload too. I must have hit post before it was done. @Stefan, thanks, the \usepackage{etex} worked.
