Error: \enquote already defined

Post by SanneJ »

Hi! Hope you can help me with my first LaTeX problem I havent been able to solve by searching on google! I get the following error:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX error: Command \enquote already defined.
or name \end... illegal, see p. 192 of the manual.
The problem started when I wanted to use the siunitx package. It requires a lot of other packages, so my list of packages are as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{memoir}
\chapterstyle{madsen}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{epigraph} 
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{wrapfig} 
\usepackage{subfig} 
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{lmodern} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array} 
\usepackage{multirow} 
\usepackage{tabularx} 
\usepackage{bigstrut} 
\usepackage{rotating} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem} 

\usepackage{siunitx} %requires: 
\usepackage{booktabs}
 \usepackage{helvet}
 \usepackage{mathpazo}
 \usepackage{listings}
 \usepackage{pgfplots}
 \usepackage{cleveref}
 \usepackage{csquotes}
 \usepackage{datatool}
So the problem is in the csquotes package I guess, can I somehow use the savesym package to solve the problem? or some kind of \newcommand.. or what would you suggest? Any help is highly appreciated!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Please read Board Rules and post a complete Minimal Working Example (MWE), without unnecessary packages. Also, it would be useful if you tell us what TeX installation are you using: TeXLive, MikTeX or MacTeX, what version, and to post packages versions (put \listfiles before \documentclass command, run LaTeX and take a look at the .log file, at its end, you'll see the list of used packages).

Hi and thanks! I thought it was an easy question, so I only briefly looked at the board rules :oops: But now I understand the principles of a MWE, actually quit clever advises ;) And my problem was no att all what I thought! Apparently some packages were not compatible with my bibliography style (bevbib4), but a change to "plainnat" style it all worked fine!!! So I'm very happy, but now I have to look at my bibliography styles -but that's another case! 8-)
