I've installed the complete package of MiKTeX 2.8 because I have to manage the PDF rendering of a TeX file generated by Sphinx 1.0.4 (Python 2.6) from a ReST source file.
I underline that the HTML output went fine either for Mathematical or graphical part, but when I take the .tex file and try to convert via pdfLaTeX I catch over 200 recursive errors.
I don't know if the OS is the key, I'm running Sphinx under Windows 7 (no Cygwin) and all works but it generates errors for tables that I haven't.
I'll attach the log file with the main errors extracted.
It refers on a mathematical research.

delete your auxiliary files (
.aux,.toc, ...) and run again. If it didn't help, then it looks like a problem in the preamble. Then trywhat happens?
