why i got error:

undefined control sequence
<argument> luatexversion
                         <95
l.924

for this simple example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{document}
here is nothing to animate!
\end{document}

when compiling with pdfLateX. closing compilation editor open file pdfbase.sty.

I have recent 64-bit MikteX and this test has been working no so far ago.

  • apparently the package is expecting lualatex – JPi Jul 30 '17 at 22:42
  • it seems so, but so far animate works without lualatex. – Zarko Jul 30 '17 at 22:46
  • I don't get the error message with pdflatex on TL17 (Linux) –  Jul 30 '17 at 22:54
  • Yeah, works fine for me, also. What do you mean by closing compilation editor open file pdfbase.sty? – JPi Jul 31 '17 at 01:11
  • when compilation stop, i hit x key and then editor open pdfbase.sty file and show line in it, where he find this undefined control sequence – Zarko Jul 31 '17 at 01:16
  • Looks like a bug in the package. It runs some code for lualatex compilation while in pdflatex mode. I'd suggest trying to update to the latest version and failing that writing to the package author. – JPi Jul 31 '17 at 03:41
  • This has already been fixed last week. – AlexG Jul 31 '17 at 05:37
  • @AlexG, nice to hear this. unfortunately my miktex upgrade crash, and now i'm busy with it re-installation. when finish, i will notice, if now work as expected :) – Zarko Jul 31 '17 at 05:45
  • after reinstalling MikTeX, animate works. however, its version is (still) 2017/05/18 :(, so I don't know, if the file is new or old ... – Zarko Jul 31 '17 at 09:22
  • Because it was pdfbase.sty, a requirement of animate and part of media9, that needed fixing. – AlexG Jul 31 '17 at 20:45
  • thank you very much again. i learn something new ... and spend almost all day for restoring my latex installation , one small (my) error cause so many problems :( – Zarko Jul 31 '17 at 22:22
