I just installed the following package on Ubuntu to get algorithm and algorithmic 

apt-get install texlive-science

before installing it my document compiled fine. Now however, it tells me that I must put \maketitle in the preamble but when I do put it there it tells me \begin{document} is missing!

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening and how would I fix it?

\maketitle should typcially be the first thing after your \begin{document}. Can you try to make a small example file that illustrates the problem? – Seamus Nov 26 '11 at 12:19

Also, the exact error message would be helpful. I doubt that anything was telling you to put \maketitle in your preamble: it shouldn't go there. – Seamus Nov 26 '11 at 12:20

Figured it out! it didn't like that I was including

\usepackage{algorithmic}

twice! Strange that it threw that error though.
