I installed Miktex 2.9 on a new machine, but it seems I cannot use IEEEeqnarray. I followed the instructions on this answer to Using IEEEtrantools to install IEEEtranstools.sty but it is not working.

Here is an example:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{IEEEtrantools}
\begin{document}
\begin{IEEEeqnarray}{c}
x = y
\end{IEEEeqnarray}
\end{document}

I receive the following errors:

Missing = inserted for \ifnum
Missing number, treated as zero

UPDATE:

Based on suggestions in the comments, I removed the environment and run the following code

\documentclass{report}
\listfiles
\usepackage{IEEEtrantools}
\errorcontextlines=20
\begin{document}
%\begin{IEEEeqnarray}{c}
%x = y
%\end{IEEEeqnarray}
\end{document}

and here is the content of the .log file after File List

  report.cls    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
  size10.clo    2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:

 3640 words of font info for 14 fonts, out of 3000000 for 9000
 841 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191
 23i,1n,23p,206b,36s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,50000s

No pages of output.
PDF statistics:
 0 PDF objects out of 1000 (max. 8388607)
 0 named destinations out of 1000 (max. 500000)
 1 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000 (max. 10000000)

Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Do you get those error messages with the exact code you posted? I ask because your code works with no problems in my system (TeX Live2015). – Gonzalo Medina Oct 12 '15 at 03:55
  • Yes, I got the errors with exactly the same code. – Noor Oct 12 '15 at 04:45
  • Can you add \errorcontextlines=20 at the beginning of the file and then report the exact error message? – egreg Oct 12 '15 at 06:38
  • @egreg I added it in the preample and I still get the exact error message. – Noor Oct 12 '15 at 16:31
  • @Noor Look in the .log file – egreg Oct 12 '15 at 17:05
  • @egreg the '.log' file is long. Perhaps this is the part you are looking for "l.5 \begin{IEEEeqnarray}{c} I was expecting to see <',=', or `>'. Didn't." Please let me know if this is not what you are looking for. Thanks. – Noor Oct 12 '15 at 18:30
  • @Noor Yes, but the information you're giving is insufficient. Try removing the environment, but adding \listfiles at the top of the document. Compile and report what you find in the log file after *File List* (add to your question). – egreg Oct 12 '15 at 19:42
  • @egreg I updated the question based on your suggestions. – Noor Oct 12 '15 at 19:52

    My TeX distribution has IEEEtrantools.sty 2015/08/26 V1.5; also your report.cls is outdated. Update your MiKTeX and retry. – egreg Oct 12 '15 at 19:57
  • @egreg Problem solved. Thanks a lot. Please add your last comment as an answer to my question. – Noor Oct 12 '15 at 20:42

Your version of IEEEtrantools is outdated: the most recent one is

IEEEtrantools.sty 2015/08/26 V1.5

Upgrade your TeX distribution.
