Look at line 70 of the document FrontMatter.tex. It looks like there is 
an error in the arguments to \makebox . Depending on how latex is run 
(default options), it may not be showing this error on other systems. 
Look and see if the resulting file is OK (compared well to a run on the 
other system). Looks to me like you need something in place of opt, it 
should be a measurement (width of the box). Replace opt with 3in, for 
example.
