I am trying to input r code using the listing package. However, at the moment my file will not compile and returns the following error:
! Too many }'s.
\color@endbox ->\color@endgroup \egroup
I have worked backwards and figured out that the error only occurs when I use a style file given to us by my department. I have copied the .sty file that causes the error and I have also attached an example that shows the error in action. You will notice if you take out the
\usepackage[y4project]{edmaths}
that the error will disappear.
I have searched but couldn't get the following fix to work. http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&p=18575
Here is the MWE (IF YOU RUN THIS IT WILL PRODUCE THE ERROR):

Best Answer
(don't vote I'll delete later but too long for a comment)
I get no error. Add
\listfilesand then check the file dates in the list shown at the end of your run.
