I used to be able to compile the TeX file. Although I used to be able to compile it earlier using pdflatex, now it fails to compile.The log file is as below:

Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. – Stephen Dec 13 '12 at 18:17

Your tex distribution is rather old (2009). You should update to the actual TeXLive 2012. – Kurt Dec 13 '12 at 18:20
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and the 2009 seems to the working version. The synaptic debian update also gives me the 2009 version. Is compilation from the source a better option for a 2012 texlive version? – Kalyana SV Dec 13 '12 at 18:55
Your code compiles without errors on my system. – Scott H. Dec 13 '12 at 19:14

It looks like something is blocking pdflatex from writing to the pdf. Do you have it open in a viewer (that may have locked it) or are there problems with the filesystem? – Martin Schröder Dec 15 '12 at 10:37
