In this minimum working example, makecell conflicts with the table option inside the xcolor package. However, it does not conflict on the system of one of my friends although we have exactly the same vanilla TeXLive version!!

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{makecell}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}

\begin{document}

This is a table

\begin{tabular}{cc}
\hline
  1 & \makecell{Dataset\\Size}\\
  \hline 
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

    Your update levels are not the same. Make sure your texlive is fully up to date then try again. There has been updates to the array package which needed to propagate to colortbl (which is loaded bt the table option from xcolor), those colortbl updates where faulty and has already been fixed – daleif Dec 23 '18 at 07:07
  • We both are up to date. We both use:

    sudo tlmgr update --self sudo tlmgr update --all

  • Are you 100% sure have you run the update programme? Also try adding \listfiles before document class then you get a list of files and versions in the log – daleif Dec 23 '18 at 07:35
  • In fact, I am very surprised. Last time I updated was last week (and I usually update daily); at that time I had the error and my friend did not. Now, I decided to update before replying you. The error gone!! I do not know what is going one. – Waleed A. Yousef Dec 23 '18 at 08:49

    colortbl was updated on the 12th of this month to match a change to array package that went out with the latex release the week before, so between those two dates it did not work. – David Carlisle Dec 23 '18 at 09:54
  • @DavidCarlisle: none of the answers to that question mention that this problem has been patched, so marking this as a duplicate does not currently seem helpful. – Circumscribe Dec 23 '18 at 10:48
  • Thanks so much for explaining the reason. But the weird thing is that it was working with the system of my friend, who used to update as well. Anyway, thanks again. – Waleed A. Yousef Dec 23 '18 at 10:53
  • makecell loads array so this is a duplicate – Andrew Swann Dec 23 '18 at 11:44
  • @DavidCarlisle I think that is not the correct duplicate (it is from april). – Ulrike Fischer Dec 23 '18 at 11:46
  • After updating, the problem gone. Thanks so much – Waleed A. Yousef Jan 03 '19 at 14:04
