Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ hyperref and float package problem

[alicehs]

I am using both the "float" usepackage and the "hyperref" usepackage, and the two seem to disagree...

Using the following MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{hyperref}			

% new float style
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{fileex}{htbp}{lop}											
\floatname{fileex}{File}

\begin{document}

\begin{fileex}[htp]
	\begin{footnotesize}
			hello
	\end{footnotesize}
	\caption{this is a test file}
	\label{fig:test}
\end{fileex}

This is an example of a hyper ref \ref{fig:test}.

\end{document}

I receive the following warning (using This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.8-beta-20080627 (MiKTeX 2.7)):

Code: Select all

Package hyperref Info: bookmark level for unknown fileex defaults to 0 on input
 line 16.

This is not a problem for me, however, when a colleague of mine compiles (using pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)), he recieves the following error which stops the compilation:

Code: Select all

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   \relax 
l.6 \end{fileex}

Can anyone tell me why this is? And possibly a solution?

I have looked at similar poblems in various forums, and there is mention of the order in wih you use the packages, or including the usepackages "algorithm" and/or "agorithmic". None of which work...

Any suggestions would be greatfully accepted...
