Page Layout ⇒ caption | Unknown Option

[gsaray101]

I have a sweave file which I have R code to generate graphs and tables. When I execute Sweave("test.rnw"), it works, it creates teh test.tex file. But when I issue texi2pdf("test.tex", clean=T), I get this error:

Code: Select all

LaTeX Error: Unknown option `tableposition=top' for package `caption'.

What does this error mean? Has anybody seen this, how can I go about resolving this?

Your version of the caption bundle is outdated. Update the package by the package manager of your TeX distribution.

Since the option tableposition exists since January 2004 I would even say that the TeX system is very outdated.

So personally, I would not update a single package here but the whole TeX distribution instead.

Since the version history in the package manual is not so detailed, I couldn't say since when this option exists. For such an old package I also would have recommended a distribution upgrade.
