Hi,

Thanks to Victor for the advice.  I thought that was the ticket.  Unfortunately, I ran the TeX Live Utility, updated everything, re-installed the Beamer and Geometry packages and I still get the same error.

Any further advice ???

Thanks again,

Dan

I just updated to TeX Live 2010 and now I can't compile (typeset) any Beamer presentation, my old presentations (without any changes) or even the examples in the documentation with TeX Live.  The last few lines of the console line are:
