He came up with the workaround below, does this work for you? Just out of curiosity, what distro are you using? I haven't run into this myself on either Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04. Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apparently, it is still an open bug which seems unresolved even in tex upstream, AFAICT: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752773 I tried the suggested workaround first by replacing \lstinline in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty with it but it complained about an undefined command. Then I went and did this: \newcommand\lstinline[1][]{% \leavevmode\bgroup % \hbox\bgroup --> \bgroup \def\lst@boxpos{b}% \lsthk@PreSet\lstset{flexiblecolumns,#1}% \lsthk@TextStyle \ifnum\iffalse{\fi`}=\z@\fi \@ifnextchar\bgroup{% \ifnum`{=\z@}\fi% \afterassignment\lst@InlineG \let\@let@token}{% \ifnum`{=\z@}\fi\lstinline@}} and the pdf was built successfully. This this goes into /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty which is part of texlive-latex-recommended. It needs to be fixed in the distro. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe perfbook" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
