General ⇒ Error prompted when using the Hyperref package.

Hi, I'm using the following code which runs and generates a working PDF file. The file includes the intended hyperlinks and works well.

Run LaTeX here

However, the following error is prompted during compilation. As stated in the comments within the source code, the error disappears if the hyperref package is not used:

! Use of \??? doesn't match its definition.
<argument> \???
! LaTeX Error: Erroneous variable \l__socket_hyp/raisedlink...
l.30 \section{First Section}
\label{sec:first-section}
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

This is a fresh installation using MiKTex and TexMaker. The same issue didn't appear using the same source code on a different computer system. Similar errors are encountered whenever the hyperref package is used.

Welcome to the forum!

Can you post the .log file here as an attachment? The attachment link is below the text edit field when writing a post.

Hello Stefan. Thank you for that. I'm attaching the log file.

MiKTex was re-installed and the problem seems to be resolved. Probably, it was simply an installation issue, such as relating to the installation of the packages.

Great, thanks for letting us know!
