I want to use the beamer package for a presentation. The beamer class provides a special layout file and a template LyX-file. I installed the layout file with success but when running pdflatex or latex over the template LyX-file, I get 16 errors.
Most of the error messages are "LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}."
When looking in the logfile, I see that the LaTex errors occurs while the package xcolor redefine some stuff. (The beamer package requires the packages pgf and xcolor). So it seems to be a xcolor problem.
I got also an error "LaTeX Error: Command \boldsymbol already defined."
When I delete the line:
"\usepackage{beamerthemeshadow}"
only 6 errors will remain.
I've installed - beamer 2004/03/10 v2.10 - pgf 2003/12/02 v0.60 - xcolor 2004/03/27 v1.10 and use LyX 1.3.3.
Has anybody tested the beamer layout or could somebody send me a presentation lyx-file that was made with beamer?
Could someone, who can run pdflatex successfully over the beamer template, please tell me which versions of beamer and xcolor was used?
Thanks a lot in advance. Uwe
p.s. What other LaTeX package could be used together with LyX for presentations? I found in the list archive something about the package pdfscreen. Has anybody some experiences (or example LyX-files) with prosper, slide etc.?
