Hi sherlock,

you are loading hyperref two times, remove the second line \usepackage{hyperref}.

hi Stefan_k

i removed the second line but the error still happen

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi sherlock,

the first line contains no error.
Verify if you have an up-to-date version of hyperref installed. The latest version is 2008/04/24 v6.77u.

Hi Stefan_K

My version is 2003/11/30 v6.74m

where i can find the latest version?
i couldn't find

Hi sherlock,

usually you will find the latest packages on CTAN. Look here: hyperref
But in general it should be much easier to install it using the package manager of the LateX distribution or the operating system. For instance I installed the package texlive-latex-base that includes hyperref.
Which operating system and which LaTeX distribution do you use? I remember you used (Debian like) Linux (Ubuntu?), you wrote earlier that you installed texlive-full but removed it.

I m using
Ubuntu 7.0 Feisty and Tetex with Kile editor

I installed the packages with the operating system but the version is old.
I m new using Linux and Latex.

Hi sherlock,

sooner or later you should consider an update. I was using Feisty too for a long time until I updated to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). Now I am using texlive and KILE 2.0.

If you don't want to update tetex to texlive (at least texlive-latex-recommended) perhaps it could help to update just the package tetex-extra. That should contain hyperref but of course not in the newest version. hyperref is not a small package, manual installation may be not so simple, but I didn't test that.

Hi
i am using Kile 1.9
And how i can update tetex to texlive without any problem?
Could you give me any hint to do this

Thanks in advance

Hi sherlock,

when I was using Ubuntu Feisty and tetex and needed newer package versions I installed texlive-base, texlive-common, texlive-latex-base (that contains hyperref), some more and the packages that they depend on with synaptic. I ended with a mix of some leftovers from tetex and the newer texlive but it was working, also with Kile 1.9.
You could give texlive a try. I did it, texlive replaced some tetex packages and left others untouched that remained working.

One alternative is installing the MiKTeX package manager, but that needs to be compiled on your system. I wrote an article about that: here. It's written in german but you may benefit from the links to ressources at the end, there you can find more information about this package manager. I used it a long time with tetex to get the latest/newest packages and was very satisfied.
