Package: texlive-latex-recommanded
Version: problem with subfig and beamer
Severity: normal


Hello

I am still using beamer for my presentation
if you use the attached file you will see that pdflatex hang with:

(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/beamer/beamerbasethemes.sty)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/beamerthemedefault.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/beamer/themes/font/beamerfontthemedefault.s
ty)

..sty)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/beamerouterthemedefault
..sty))) (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ucs/ucs.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ucs/data/uni-global.def))
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/inputenc.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ucs/utf8x.def))
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/subfig/subfig.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/caption/caption.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/caption/caption3.sty)

! LaTeX Error: \@makecaption undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
l.184 \renewcommand\@makecaption
                                [2]{%


So it seems that subfig do not works with beamer.

I check that without beamer the problem is not present.
using \documentclass{article} instead of \documentclass{beamer}


Have a nice day.

reassign 388267 latex-beamer
thanks

Dear Till,

I think a Debian user has discovered a bug in beamer.  I'm currently
offline and only checked version 3.06 (and in the worst case, I won't be
able to send this mail before Monday and will be about the third person
to nag on you...).  Anyway, here's my analysis.  The following document:

\documentclass[11pt]{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{subfig}


\title{Présentation du logiciel de commande des diffractomètres}
\author{Picca Frédéric-Emmanuel}
\date{26 Septembre 2006, CSE}
\subject{Presentation Programs}
\institute[SOLEIL]{Soleil Synchrotron}


\begin{document}

  \begin{frame}
    \titlepage
  \end{frame}

\end{document}

fails with the error message:

! LaTeX Error: \@makecaption undefined.

Indeed, no file in the beamer package seems to define this macro, only
\beamer@makecaption.  However, according to the LaTeX sources
(source2e.pdf):

,---- File G, ltxfloat.dtx, 62.1
| The document style must define the following.
| ...
| \@makecaption{NUM}{TEXT} :
|           A macro to make a caption, with NUM the value
|           produced by \fnum@... and TEXT the text of the caption.
|           It can assume it's in a \parbox of the appropriate width.
`----

I'm sure this wording is from the old days of LaTeX 2.09, and
documentstyle should in fact be documentclass.

I have no idea what the solution might be, but because of this text I
think it should probably be on beamer's side, not subfig's.


Liebe Grüße, und danke für Beamer,

Frank

beamer is also in texlive-latex-recommended, as I don't want to depend
on a problematic pgf (see my prepared NMU of pgf 1.01).

If we get a fix from Till, and we get an updated pgf package (maybe I
should upload one?) then I can blacklist pgf/beamer from the texlive
packages.

Best wishes

Norbert

Sorry, I forgot to mention that to actually fix this bug you have to use
the newest caption[1] package which has beamer support, but it's not yet
in debian.

Subject: latex-beamer: Updated caption package or latex-beamer?

Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 22:56:40 -0700

Package: latex-beamer
Version: 3.07-2
Severity: normal

This bug still exists in sid, despite what I assume must be an updated 
caption package as part of texlive-latex-recommended (the caption.sty
provides caption as of 2009/10/09).  

Also, when I apply the patch provided by Kanru Chen on 2008/07/18, I am 
able to use subfig inside a beamer environment.  Therefore, I think
this bug could be reassigned to latex-beamer and the suggested patch 
applied to that package.

Thank you,
Tony

Can't reproduce that issue any more. The bug was cloned once as
#389467, the clone has been closed years ago.

Can we close that one too? Thanks!
