Am I doing something wrong and is this meant to happen?

%\documentclass{minimal} edit: should not be used
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tkz-euclide}
\usetkzobj{all}
\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\begin{document}
  \begin{center}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
     \tkzInit[xmin=-9, xmax=6, ymin=-0.7, ymax=5]
     \tkzDefPoint(0,0){x}
     \tkzDrawPoints(x)
     \tkzLabelPoints[below](x)
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \end{center}
\end{document}

If I try to compile this (with pdflatex or xelatex) I get the following error 

! Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line xx.
<inserted text> 
                \fi

If I leave off the \begin{center} and corresponding \end{center} the error message changes to:

Runaway argument?
\@xa \looseends \@xa :\@xa =\nag@envstack \do {\@xa \ifx \looseends \relax \ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@tfor.
<inserted text> 
                \par
  1. Could someone explain this error message to me.
  2. If I comment out either \RequirePackage[..]{nag} or \tkzInit[..] the error vanishes.

  • Not that this answers your question, but you should not use the minimal document class. See Why not use the minimal class. – Peter Grill Jul 02 '12 at 00:52
  • Also \Requirepackage should be \usepackage and you might prefer \centering. – percusse Jul 02 '12 at 01:01
  • On a completely unrelated topic, @epsilon. Are you sure that you want to use U+2CC6 COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER OLD COPTIC ESH in your user name, rather than U+2215 DIVISION SLASH? – Caramdir Jul 02 '12 at 01:01
  • I think you're not allowed to use non letter symbols in names - so division slash is no option - but I am not really happy with it - and have to wait till july 22nd to change my name back to epsilonhalbe – epsilonhalbe Jul 02 '12 at 01:13
  • The correct tag is tkz-euclide. I gave an answer to this problem in another question but I can't relocate it. You can download the new file here : http://altermundus.com/SandBox/tkz-tools-base.tex – Alain Matthes Jul 02 '12 at 05:33
  • @Altermundus thanks for providing this and many thanks for the tkz-collection you made it is really really helpful. – epsilonhalbe Jul 02 '12 at 07:57
  • @epsilon'εⳆ2'halbe Thanks, happy that this work helps you. The real tag is tkz-collection. – Alain Matthes Jul 02 '12 at 08:02

There is a name conflict between nag.sty and tkz-tools-base.tex (which is input via tkz-euclide.sty).

From nag.sty:

\let\@xa\expandafter

From tkz-tools-base.tex:

\global\let\@xa\tkz@init@xmin

Without one (or both) of the two package authors resolving the conflict by renaming things, I don't think you use the two packages together.

    Yes you are right. This problem disappears with the new file tkz-tools-base.tex but I need times before to upload anew version on CTAN because I have some littles corrections to add. – Alain Matthes Jul 02 '12 at 05:35
