How to solve the error “longtable* is already defined” using package “caption” and documentclass...












2















I have a serious problem with compilation of the following code:



documentclass[a4paper,reprint,aps,unsortedaddress]{revtex4}
usepackage{longtable}
usepackage{caption}


begin{document}

captionof{table}{This is a very nice table}
begin{longtable}{c|c|c|c}
A & B & A & B \ hline
end{longtable}
addtocounter{table}{-1}

captionof{table}{This is a very nice table}
begin{longtable}{c|c|c|c}
A & B & A & B \ hline
end{longtable}

end{document}


The error message is




! LaTeX Error: Command longtable* already defined.
Or name end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.



Could you please help me how to resolve this error?

          Well, in your code are three problems:




          1. Class revtex4 is outdated, the current one is revtex4-2. Can you change?

          2. Loading package caption results in several errors/warnings for class revtex4 and for class revtex4-2. Just do not load it!


          3. captionof{table}{This is a very nice table} is only possible if package caption is loaded, but longtable defines its own caption with caption{This is a very nice table}\ (please see the closing \!)


          With the following code



          documentclass[a4paper,reprint,aps,unsortedaddress]{revtex4}

          usepackage{longtable}
          %usepackage{caption}


          begin{document}

          begin{longtable}{c|c|c|c}
          caption{This is a very nice table}\
          A & B & A & B \ hline
          end{longtable}


          addtocounter{table}{-1}
          begin{longtable}{c|c|c|c}
          caption{This is a very nice table}\
          A & B & A & B \ hline
          end{longtable}

          end{document}


          I can compile without errors with class revtex4 and revtex4-2
          with the result:
