Minted: am I using illegal characters?

Question

I have the following simple LaTeX document...

\documentclass[letterpaper, 10pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{minted}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup
{
  colorlinks=false,
  pdfborder={0,0,0},
}

\begin{document}

\begin{minted}[mathescape,
               linenos,
               numbersep=5pt,
               gobble=2,
               frame=lines,
               framesep=2mm]{bash}
  #!/bin/bash
  curl -o wdbc.data http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/breast-cancer-wisconsin/wdbc.data
  perl -ne '@f = split/,/; print(join(",", @f[2..31]))' < wdbc.data > wdbc-values.data
  perl -ne '@f = split/,/; printf("%s\n", $f[1])' < wdbc.data > wdbc-diagnoses.data
  /Applications/MATLAB_R2011b.app/bin/matlab -nodisplay < run-kmeans.m
  echo -e "\n\n\n======Results======"
  paste -d: wdbc-clusters.data wdbc-diagnoses.data | sort | uniq -c
\end{minted}


\end{document}

I've essentially copied the example from the minted home page and inserted a shell script. When I try to typeset this example, I get the following error.

If I replace the bash script with other code (Perl, R, etc), I have no problems. Does my bash script use characters that are not supported in minted? Is this documented anywhere?

Note:

>>> pygments = __import__('pygments', {}, {}, ['lexers', 'styles', 'formatters'])
>>> print 'Pygments', pygments.__version__
Pygments 1.3.1

Answer 1

Your version of Pygments is outdated, and had a bug that was subsequently fixed. Updating Pygments should fix the problem. The easiest way to update Pygments is to use pip:

pip install --upgrade pygments

(pip itself can be installed via easy_install pip, which, in turn, requires easy_install to be installed …)
