General ⇒ Presentation fails to compile

[Fonzie]

Hi guys.

I wanted to compile this simple code.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}
\beamersetuncovermixins{\opaqueness<1>{25}}{\opaqueness<2->{15}}

\title{Beamer Class ganz nett}  
\author{Ich}
\date{\today} 

\begin{document}
\frame{\titlepage} 
\frame{\frametitle{Inhaltsverzeichnis}\tableofcontents} 

\section{Abschnitt Nr.1} 

\frame{\frametitle{Titel} 
Die einzelnen Frames sollte einen Titel haben 
}

\subsection{Unterabschnitt Nr.1.1  }

\frame{ 
Denn ohne Titel fehlt ihnen was
}

\end{document}

I get the following message:

Code: Select all

 ...
l.14 [
      \beamer@version\space A class for typesetting presentations]

I found this thread with exactly the same problem. They write its solved, but no solution is given

Thanks for any help
Marco

Hi Fonzie,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

If you click on the OPEN IN WRITELATEX link right above the code block you will see that this code compiles fine! (WriteLaTeX use TeX Live 2012 as their TeX distribution).

If it does not work for there are several possible reasons. However, the message you posted is incomplete which means it actually tells us nothing so currently it is impossible to tell what's wrong. Luckily you have linked the other thread which tells us that the complete message is

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...development version \beamer@version
                                                  \space A class for typeset...
l.13 ...ace A class for typesetting presentations]

This probably means that you're using an outdated version of beamer. So I suggest you update your TeX distribution. (In the other thread it seems that the OP had an outdated local copy of beamer and once he deleted it his distribution used the more recent one from his system.)

I am really busy to prepare a talk, and shame on me, switched to MiKTeX. I am going to update Tex Live and report.

Thanks!


Edit: Sorry for not using these code blocks. next time for sure.
