Hi,
I have installed the latest versions (from 'unstable') of the Debian packages tetex-{base,bin,extra} and prosper.
I am making slides using the 'prosper' class, and I want to be able to change the color of some words. (I don't want to change the color of everything, just to highlight some words - I think it looks better than \emph).
When I try to use the "color" package in conjunction with "prosper", LaTeX fails with the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ...
l.159 \definecolor{black}{gray}{0}? ---------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to happen when "color.sty" is loaded.
The latex input producing this error is:
---------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{blue}{Blue Text}
\end{document}
---------------------------------------------------------------Or, (using the "mpa" style file from http://www.nefkom.net/georg.drenkhahn/prosper/PPRmpa.sty):
---------------------------------------------------------------
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\documentclass[pdf,mpa]{prosper}
% Fails with or without the following line:
%\usepackage{pstricks,pst-node}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{blue}{Blue Text}
\end{document}
---------------------------------------------------------------
The log file from running Latex on the second example is attached.
I Googled this problem and came across a number of fixes, but none has worked for me yet. One of the common suggestions is to modify "color.cfg" (which on Debian is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/color.cfg) by adding the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------
%% http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pstricks/2003/001141.html
%% workaround for a strange bug in color.sty / seminar / prosper
\def\color at gray#1#2{%
\c at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\edef#1{gray #2}%
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
but the problem persists with and without this "fix".
I would very much appreciate any tips, hints, or suggestions. I am happy to provide more information as required.
Thanks very much, dustin.
