General ⇒ babel-french broken

[LeducNic]

Hello,

I am using MacTex 2015 and after installing all the updates with the TexLive utility, my document doesn't compile anymore. I get an error... see below. Does anyone has the same problem? How can I fix it?

Thanks
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

welcome to the forum!

It seems to me, that the e-french config file is found and used. But not the french.sty which belongs to it. Perhaps have a look at the e-french package packe with the documentation to see how to use it, or deinstall if not needed.
