[Tex/LaTex] pdflatex (texlive) tells me that “\homepage” is an ‘undefined control sequence’ when using moderncv

Question

I'm getting an error when trying to typeset my CV using moderncv. I'm doing this on Linux using texlive and when I try to compile it using pdflatex an error is returned at the \homepage{} line, specifically saying that it is an undefined control sequence. I've checked the moderncv entry on CTAN and the \homepage{} entry is included in the example file, template.tex, but that when I try to compile that, it returns the same error. Is there something missing from texlive that's causing it not to work, or am I just missing something here?

Answer 1

According to the changelog, \homepage was only added this May. Most Linux distributions don’t have recent enough TeX Live packages.

You can either install a new version of TeX Live, replacing the one from your package manager, our install a current version of moderncv from CTAN into your local texmf dir.
