General ⇒ Clash with babel and resumé packages?

[charvey1]

My CV is written in LaTeX. I've been updating it as necessary for years now. But just a couple of days ago, I used LaTeX to write some Greek using the Babel package. Now my CV .tex file will just not work for anything and I can't find anything about it on the internet. In fact, not even the most basic, basic resumé ever will build.

Here's a minimum example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{res}
\begin{document} 
\begin{resume}
My resume
\end{resume}
\end{document}

When I try to build it, I get this error:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: File `res.cls' not found.

It looks to me like there's a clash between 'res.cls' for the resume class and for the Babel package. I've searched google and can't find anything intelligible. I've also uninstalled texlive on my mac (mactex) and reinstalled it and it still won't work. I can think what else I can do.

Can anyone help? I really need to update my CV.

Thanks everyone for any help,

Chris

I eventually worked it out.

Despite already have the res.cls class installed on my computer, pdflatex couldn't find it. I might be wrong, but that seemed to start happening after use the Babel package for the first time.

To fix it, I simply downloaded res.cls again and put it in the same directory as the .tex file.

Probably not the most beautiful fix, but at least I can use my CV now
