Problem solved! --- at least partially.
conflicting files french.ldf
My installation is finding:
< (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/le/french.ldf
< File: french.ldf 2001/11/28 v1.9 french option of babel loading the
French pack
< age
instead of
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/frenchb.ldf
I can get the latter, using:
\usepackage[german,frenchb,british]{babel}
instead of
\usepackage[german,french,british]{babel}
due to this coding from babel.sty :
\DeclareOption{frenchb}{\input{frenchb.ldf}}
\IfFileExists{french.ldf}{%
\DeclareOption{french}{\input{french.ldf}}%
}{%
\DeclareOption{french}{\input{frenchb.ldf}}%
}
Maybe my /le/french.ldf is too old now ?
Or just not needed.
It claims to be a 'french pro package':
\InputIfFileExists{french.sty}{}% load our french pro package
{\InputIfFileExists{frenchle.sty}{}% or the light version if any,
{\PackageError{french/frenchle}%
{-63- french or frenchle style files not found}%
{-63- Check if files exist somewhere in your system.}%
\let\endfrench\stop%
}%
}%
Has anyone else tried using this ?
Cheers,
Ross
