arydshln and longtable incompatible?

[Lucian Wischik]

I'm producing a \[\begin{array}...\end{array}\] that's very long and needs
to be split up over multiple lines. Presumably therefore I have to use
longtable. Each line of the array contains a
\begin{tabular}[:c|] ... \end{tabular}, using the arydshln package to get
vertical dotted lines.

There seems to be a conflict when I use both arydshln and longtable. Here
is a sample document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{arydshln}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{c}
This\\
table
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

It gives this error message: (squashed to fit)
! Undefined control sequence.
\adl@@cr ...l@height \xdef \adl@rowsL {\adl@rowsL
(\adl@colsL /\number \adl@...
lt.tex(9) : t
able

The same error appears if I usepackage longtable and arydshln in the other
order. The error doesn't appear if there's only a single line of text in
the table. The error disappears if I don't usepackage{arydshln}.

The log file also says:
Package: arydshln 2000/07/04 v1.4
Package: longtable 1998/05/13 v4.09 Multi-page Table package (DPC)

I'm using Y&Y Tex, and WinEdt. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be very
grateful! Or any workarounds. Are there any other ways to break up a
\[\begin{array}..\end{array}\] over multiple pages? Are there any other
ways to get a dotted vertical line?

Many thanks in advance,

I just ran into this problem too and narrowed down to a conflict between arydshln and longtable.

longtable 2004/02/01 v4.11 Multi-page Table package (DPC)
arydshln 2004/08/31 v1.71
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (MiKTeX 2.8) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2011.10.19) 21 MAR 2013 22:24

use package ltablex instead of longtable, it works with arydshln

[switch]

It might just work to switch the load order of the packages.
So, load longtables first and arydshln later.
