General ⇒ Undefined control sequence error message

[yoob]

Hello.

I would be grateful to you if you help me please.

Around 3 weeks ago, I have installed TeXnicCenter 2.02 stable (64 bits).

Files that worked well with the former version of TeXnicCenter no longer work (LaTeX => PDF) no longer works.

I get many errors message and the main one is Undefined control sequence.

Code: Select all

Undefined control sequence-errors are usually caused if you miss to load the package that provides it. For example, you have to load the marvellous package graphicx by David Carlisle et al. in order to use command includegraphics.

As you didn't give any code (or complete error messages), i can't tell anything more.
You also did not specify which TeX-distribution you are using. Texnic Center is just the editor, so i assume you also changed something else.

Dear Johannes,

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

Please attached some files that may be useful.

You are certainly right.

In the error message, it is mentioned that I have used the old interface to call Babel (I do not know how to call the new interface).

As you have guessed it, it is also mentioned that I may expect compatibility problems with others packages that's why I am sending to you the code that previously worked well (thought with the files using includegraphics).

This TeXnicCenter 2.02 stable (64 bits) version comes with the Latex help ebook Version 1.0 (22.11.2000)of Petr N. Vabishchevich.
I don't know if I also have a configuration problem.
From the files in my machine, I know that I have: LaTex2e. Copyright 1995, LaTeX3 Project Team. All rights reserved.8 December 1995

My laptop is a HP Pavillion running under Windows 7.

I hope that this may help.

Thanks a million.

Hi,

please read how to prepare a minimal working example. That shows us, how you call babel and gives us something to test and finally provide a sollution.

Thanks a lot.

I will follow your second advice (the smart way) ...

[Johannes_B]

I just noticed you did upload a file. That might have gone under with those big images.
There is a really simple mistake in there

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt] %{scrartcl}

. Why is the name of the class commented out?


Additionally you need to \usepackage{scrpage2} in order to get headers/footers right.


By the way, you really shouldn't use this template. It is soooo old and many of the packages are obsolete. And some of the stuff is just wrong.

[Johannes_B]

I just had another look at your example. Not only is the preamble cluttered with obsolete stuff, the body is also ...

Well, please read some basic introductory material. Invest some time now and save a lot of time later on. Your code is really bad.
