General ⇒ Problem with siunitx package

[lima]

Hello.

I'm getting the following error when compiling my document.

Code: Select all

! Package siunitx Error: Support package expl3 too old..

See the siunitx package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

After doing some research on the web, I found that the installation of l3 packages were required in order to avoid this error. I did install l3packages, l3experimental and l3kernel and updated MiKTeX. Doing this did the trick for my colleagues but in my case I'm still stuck with this error. I have tried to remove MiKTeX and install the most recent version by downloading the executable from its website. After installing the packages again and updating, still no luck.
I found problem even stranger when I get the same error on my two computers, one with a 32-bit and the other with a 64-bit OS (Windows 7).

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks!

The best thing would probably be to update the whole TeX distribution.

Hi cgnieder. Thanks for taking your time to reply.
I have tried that too but without success. However, I reinstalled MiKTeX in a different directory (I don't know if spaces in the path could cause the error, so just in case) without spaces. After installing the packages again and updating MiKTeX, I could compile my document successfully. Many thanks!

Sometimes spaces can be problematic. Glad everything works for you.
