Errors using Thumbs package

Post by ylva »

Hi,

I'm trying to use the "thumbs" package to make thumb indexes in my thesis. However, when I compile, I get 3 errors which originate from the pageslts.sty file, which is being loaded by the thumbs package upon compiling. I've googled this problem but came up empty handed. It doesn't seem to be a very common problem.

Anyone any idea on how I can solve this? The other packages to make thumb indexes are not as nice as this one, so I would be glad if I could get some help with fixing this. I use TeXnicCenter 1.0 and MikTex 2.9

The errors I get are the following:

! Undefined control sequence.
1.1149 \AtEndAfterFileList
{%


Which refers to:
\AtEndAfterFileList{%
\ifx\pagesLTS@rerun\pagesLTS@one%
\PackageWarningNoLine{pageslts}{%
Label(s) may have changed.\MessageBreak%
Rerun to get cross-references right%
}%
\fi%
}


! undefined control sequence.
<argument> \ltx@GlobalAppendToMacro
{\frontmatter }{\pageLTS@prefrontmatte...
1.11171 }

and

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...ntmatter} {\pageLTSprefrontmatter
}\ltx@GlobalAppendToMacro ...
1.1171 }


which both refer to:

\ifund@fined{frontmatter}{\relax}{%
\ltx@GlobalPrependToMacro{\frontmatter}{\pagesLTS@prefrontmatter}%
\ltx@GlobalAppendToMacro{\frontmatter}{\pagesLTS@postfrontmatter}%
}


It seems weird that there would be undefined control sequences in the .sty file of a package... If you want a minimal example, this one gave the same errors as in my thesis file:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{thumbs}

\begin{document}
\chapter{First chapter}
\blindtext[6]
\chapter{Second chapter}
\blindtext[6]
\end{document}
