This is the first document I am working with Latex for my CV. Here, I am getting an error as follows:
! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package geometry.

When I googled, I realized that this error was because I had imported the same package twice. But I don't see any line in my code where geometry has been imported again. So, does this mean something else in my context? Thanks in advance.

Package
layaureo
already loads packagegeometry
without options. When LaTeX sees the second load request of a package, then the package is not loaded again (e.g., otherwise,\newcommand
in a package would throw errors). But, LaTeX checks the options. The options, given in later load request must be a subset of the options that were used for the loading of the package. In this case, there are two new options causing LaTeX to throw an error.Solutions:
\PassOptionsToPackage
at the very begin of the document to add package options. Especially useful, if the first loading of a package is done by the class or another package.\documentclass
. Such an options is seen by all packages.In the case of the example, it seems that
letterpaper
is an error, and you just want to add optionshowframe
. Then remove the\usepackage[letterpaper, showframe]{geometry}
-- BTW, packagegeometry
should be loaded (the layout of the document should be set) beforehyperref
.Option
showframe
can be given this way:
