</div></div>As the message says, your installation has mismatched versions of xparse<br>
and l3kernel. From your log, you have the old 'expl3' packaging for the<br>
LaTeX3 kernel material, rather than the newer 'l3kernel' one. You must<br>
have installed the mismatched files at some stage. Normally, doing an<br>
update should sort this, but with the TL2012 release imminent you may be<br>
better waiting for that.<br>
