Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Problems with siunitx package

[macovlad]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use the masters-doctoral-thesis template.

I am using MikTex 2.9 and compiling with TexMaker.

When trying to run the main file, I get these errors

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

There seems to be a problem with the siunitx package.

If I delete that line in the .cls file and remove all the places in the document where \si is called, it compiles no problems.

I do however need to use units in my thesis.

If I try to \usepackage{SIunits} instead, I get a different error saying that the \degree command is already defined.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Make a complete update of your TeX installation.

What happens?

Dear Johannes,

I completely uninstalled MiKTeX, re-installed the latest version and updated all the packages.

When I reran the main.tex file it compiled fine.

However when I uncommented the places where the \si function was called, I got errors again. I realised this happened because the proper way of calling it when typesetting numbers and units is using capital letters (i.e. \SI). Something to bear in mind for future users since the examples given in the template use lowercase.

Thank you for your assistance!

I just checked on Overleaf, the template uses correct uppercase and lowercase. It compiles completely fine.


I guess you mistyped somewhere without noticing.
