 Hi all,

 I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use
 hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as
 memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you
 \usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:


 http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us
 http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us

 However, when I make a trivial latex file based on the preceding document,
 it fails. Here's the file:

 \documentclass{memoir}
 \usepackage{hyperref}
 \usepackage{memhfixc}
 \usepackage{mempatch}
 \begin{document}
 hello world.
 \end{document}




 Most of my documents are with memoir and hyperref, with no problem. I
 usually have:

 \usepackage{hyperref}

 \hypersetup{pdftex, bookmarks, backref, letterpaper, colorlinks=true,
 urlcolor=black}

 \usepackage{memhfixc}


 But, I tries your document and it works, too ...

Explanation above leads me to suggestion about checking memoir and
hyperref packages versions. Steve, can you compare them with Eran?

Hi Manveru,

Great minds think alike. A few days ago when several people were unable to 
reproduce my bug, I also suspected my Memoir package. The suspicion 
heightened with the discovery that my Memoir package was from 2004. So I 
replaced my Memoir package, compiled memoir.ins, and my symptom went away. 
I'm now able to compile my Memoir-derived Ebook.

Hi all,

I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use 
hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as 
memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you 
\usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:


http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us

However, when I make a trivial latex file based on the preceding document, it 
fails. Here's the file:


\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\usepackage{mempatch}
\begin{document}

Most of my documents are with memoir and hyperref, with no problem. I

\usepackage{memhfixc}

2008-08-25 Thread Steve Litt
First, thanks to all you LyX'ers -- the ones writing me both onlist and 
offlist. There's no way I would have solved this without you.

Second, I'm really bent out of shape (American idiom for extremely angry) 
because those fool packagers at Mandriva put in a 2004 Memoir package into 
Mandriva 2008.1. I've got nine months to get over my anger, but right now I'm 
inclined to switch to another distro next summer.

The big clue came when several of you said you couldn't reproduce my symptom 
on my 5 line LaTeX program. That pointed a very accusing finger at *MY* 
Memoir package installation. Looking at its files, I saw they were from 2004. 
So I downloaded a 2008 Memoir. My 5 line LaTeX program compiled, so I knew I 
was on the right track.

Unfortunately, my actual LyX book got approximately several hundred errors. 
Google was my friend, and I found out that to complete the installation, I 
had to do this:

latex memoir.ins

So I did that, but my LaTeX program still got a couple hundred errors. This 
time, however, most of the errors seemed to be associated with Enumerate, so 
I commented out my LaTeX code that compressed enumerate vertically. There 
were still some errors, so I commented out similar compression code in 
itemize and the table of contents. It compiled with hyperref included, and 
gave me a clickable table of contents.

What remains now is to find a different way to code my list compressions, and 
test everything else to make sure there are no other problems.

If anyone reading this list is using Mandriva 2008.x, be VERY careful, and 
don't assume your tetex package is correct or up to date.

In hindsight, I made the classic troubleshooting mistake of proceeding on an 
untested and invalid assumption -- in this case the assumption being that my 
tetex installation was solid. The several of you who responded telling me my 
program compiled correctly on your setups helped cast the light of day on 
that invalid assumption, leading to at least a partial solution.

Thank you all very much!!!
