Hi all,

When I compile this

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
%\setlist[enumerate]{leftmargin=*} % run fine
\setlist[itemize]{leftmargin=*} % produces "! Undefined control sequence."
%\setlist[description]{leftmargin=*} % produces "! Undefined control
sequence."

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item enumerate
\end{enumerate}

\begin{itemize}
\item itemize
\end{itemize}

\begin{description}
\item[first] description
\end{description}

\end{document}

I get

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> enit@cw@\@enumctr

l.14 \item
itemize
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> enit@cv@\@enumctr

l.14 \item
itemize
("D:\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\base\omscmr.fd") [1] (d:\file.aux)

*File List*
article.cls 2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX document class
size10.clo 2007/10/19 v1.4h Standard LaTeX file (size option)
enumitem.sty 2011/07/09 v3.2 Customized lists
omscmr.fd 1999/05/25 v2.5h Standard LaTeX font definitions

Any help would be appreciated.

It a question of interface: no enumitem environment named "itemize"
has been defined with \newlist.

To modify the {itemize} environment, one should use \setitemize.

But may be J Bezos could provide \setlist[itemize] as an alias for
\setitemize...

That's a bug in enumitem. It uses

\@ifundefined{enit@cw@\@enumctr}{...}{...}

which gives an error if \@enumctr is not defined.

I have already reported the bug.

Try

\makeatletter
\providecommand\@enumctr{}
\makeatother

until enumitem is updated.

But

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[description]{labelindent=\parindent} % works fine

%\setlist[description]{leftmargin=*} % produces "! Undefined control
sequence."

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
\item itemize
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

Thanks

And I'll send to CTAN a fix in a couple of days.

Thanks.
