I am working on a project and the document has grown. So, I have divided the content into multiple files and one is a tex file, including my libraries, newcommands, etc. which is shared between my different reports so far.

How? I put this sharedlibrary file in a specified folder that I have called SharedRoot, then I include this file by using these two lines of command in the beginning of every report:

\newcommand{\myrootadd}{../../SharedRoot}
\input{\SharedRoot/sharedlibrary}

Using this file, there is no problem with my reports, and everything is working fine.

Now, I want to make a presentation with beamer, and even in the beginning steps,I receive some errors:

The content of my beamer file is:

\documentclass[notheorems]{beamer}

\newcounter{chapter}
\newcommand{\myrootadd}{../../SharedRoot}
\input{\myrootadd/LibsAndDefs}


\usepackage{default}


\begin{document}


\end{document}

And I get:

Command \theorem already defined. \newtheorem{theorem}

as well as lots of similar error messages. So, I thought maybe beamer is defining theorem too which conflicts with my own definition in this shared file.

So, I tried \documentclass[notheorems]{beamer}.

then I got this message:

No counter 'chapter' defined. }

So, I tried adding

\newcounter{chapter}

Then I do not receive this error but I have no output and receive "Either the file is corrupt or it is in the process of creation." All in all, there is no output.

So, I guess it has not been the best choice to use those two lines.

And this is the conflicting part for the content of my sharedDefinitionAndLibrary file:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,amsthm, amsfonts}

\usepackage{tikz}


\usepackage{multirow}


\usepackage{bbm}


%\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {../../SharedRoot/images/} }


%\usepackage[ruled,vlined]{algorithmicx} % Algorithm
\usepackage[chapter]{algorithm}
\usepackage{algorithmic}


\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{example}{Example}


\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section]


%\theoremstyle{corollary}
\newtheorem{corollary}{Corollary}[section]


%\theoremstyle{lemma}
\newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma}


\theoremstyle{remark}
\newtheorem{remark}{Remark}[section]

It would be a "super help" if someone has a clue how this issue could be resolved and I could make a beamer presentation using this sharedlibrary file in the end!

    well the best advice imho is: don't use this file with beamer. beamer is quite a different class, and so instead of repairing in various places your file better write one dedicated for beamer. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 26 '20 at 13:26
  • Thanks! It was a very helpful advice indeed! I divided the sharedlibrary file into two files! One for this theorem definitions, etc, and the other for the beamer friendly ones. And the problem solved. Very helpful Thanks!! – Mahsa Nov 26 '20 at 13:34
