      I am unable to compile a quiz document specifically only on linux machines. My code looks like:



      %% Language and font encodings
      usepackage[english]{babel}
      usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
      usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

      %% Sets page size and margins
      usepackage[a4paper,margin=1cm]{geometry}

      %% Useful packages
      usepackage{amsmath}
      usepackage{graphicx}
      usepackage{paralist}
      setlengthFrameSep{4pt}


      begin{document}

      begin{center}
      fbox{fbox{parbox{2in}{centering
