Hi perfbook list,
I'm having trouble building perfbook (latest git) - am encountering a
weird fatal TeX error. I'm using the current TeXLive 2015 from Debian
stable.
The TeX logfile is available at [0].
I've taken a look at the section of perfbook_flat.tex that it refers to,
and I can't see anything particularly out of the ordinary. My LaTeX-fu
isn't quite good enough to figure out what's going on here - any
assistance would be appreciated!
Andrew

This looks like the same LaTeX bug that Borislav Petkov ran into
some time back. He came up with the workaround below, does this
work for you?
Just out of curiosity, what distro are you using? I haven't run into
this myself on either Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04.
Thanx, Paul

Apparently, it is still an open bug which seems unresolved even in tex
upstream, AFAICT:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752773
I tried the suggested workaround first by replacing \lstinline in
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty
with it but it complained about an undefined command. Then I went and
did this:
\newcommand\lstinline[1][]{%
\leavevmode\bgroup % \hbox\bgroup --> \bgroup
\def\lst@boxpos{b}%
\lsthk@PreSet\lstset{flexiblecolumns,#1}%
\lsthk@TextStyle
\ifnum\iffalse{\fi`}=\z@\fi
\@ifnextchar\bgroup{%
\ifnum`{=\z@}\fi%
\afterassignment\lst@InlineG \let\@let@token}{%
\ifnum`{=\z@}\fi\lstinline@}}
and the pdf was built successfully.
This this goes into
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty
which is part of texlive-latex-recommended. It needs to be fixed in the
distro.

Appears to work - thanks!

Debian 8.2 without backports. As it turns out that shipped with TeXLive
2014.20141024. It appears the Debian bug you linked was fixed in
2015.20150625, which my home machine running Debian testing would have
picked up by now, but I generally prefer more stable things for my IBM
machine...

Well, at least a fix is in the works. ;-)
