Fancy enumerate environment
Horand....@googlemail.com
http://www.tex.ac.uk but I have not been able to find anything useful.
I'd like to typeset an algorithm as an enumerated list, and I need
control of the label that is being used, as in
Step 1. (This is step 1)
Step 2. (Here is step 2)
etc.
I tried enumitem.sty with
\begin{enumerate}[label=Step \arabic*.]
\item (This is step 1) \label{step1}
\item (Here is step2) \label{step2}
\end{enumerate}
but I ended up with a raft of error messages and no labels (although
the reference to \ref{step1} and \ref{step2} works beautifully).
Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. Can
anyone help?
Thanks

Works fine for me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Step \arabic*.]
\item (This is step 1) \label{step1}
\item (Here is step2) \label{step2}
\end{enumerate}
\ref{step1}, \ref{step2}

Alright. Fair enough. The input I use:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphics,graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.ps,.jpg,.eps,.pdf,.png}
\usepackage{boxedminipage,amsmath,amsfonts}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{verbatim}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Step \arabic*]
\item {This is the first step} \label{step1}
\item {This is the second step} \label{step2}
\item {This is the third step}
\end{enumerate}
As seen in the crucial step~\ref{step2}, the enumitem package is quite
useful.
\end{document}
This produces output like this:
gt;L
This is the first step
This is the second step
This is the third step
As seen in the crucial step , the enumitem package is quite
useful.

That doesn't make sense. You only need to load graphicx.

Hm. I hope you know what you are doing.

No problem here. Put \listfiles at the start and then compare the file

The only major difference that I can see is that you use teTeX for the
graphics.cfg, while mine is MikTeX. Don't know why that should make a
difference, though.

Does my document also trigger the error?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=Step \arabic*.]
\item (This is step 1) \label{step1}
\item (Here is step2) \label{step2}
\end{enumerate}
\ref{step1}, \ref{step2}
\end{document}
If no: add one after one the other packages until you find the culprit,
then delete all other packages until you have a very minimal document
that triggers the error. Then sent the complete log.
If yes: Sent the complete log directly.

Please try this:
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{enumerate}[Step 1.]
\item (This is step 1)\label{step1}
\item (Here is step 2)\label{step2}
\end{enumerate}
