Document Classes ⇒ Beamer - Undefined control sequence \begin{document}

[mikkellund42]

Hi

I have been using beamer for some time now with TeXLive 2007 and Kile on Ubuntu. Recently I updated to TL2009 and all my LaTeX documents seems to work fine - except my beamer files. All my presentations gives me a bunch of errors and warnings. Most of the errors goes something like

Code: Select all

Undefined control sequence \begin{document}

or

Code: Select all

Missing number, treated as zero \begin{document}

I have tried with this minimal (non-)working example (log file attached) which gives me 32 errors and 4 warnings.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Test
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Any help is really appreciated.

This is caused by a bug that became manifest when geometry was updated only a few days ago. See this discussion for an explanation and a fix.

Thank you so much! I have been banging my head against the wall all day, trying to solve this, but this simple fix did it! You are my hero

Watch out for updates in the next few days, the bug is already fixed and you should be able to remove the hack: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2010- ... 24887.html
