Texments package not working on Ubuntu

latexpygments

I am trying to use the Texments Latex package on Ubuntu to do syntax highlighting.
Texments is a wrapper around Pygments.
I installed Texments and followed the steps to add the style file to the path.
But when I try to compile the .tex file, I get the error.

!Undefined Control Sequence

and then it prints out a bunch of wierd characters and places the ? prompt.
Anybody facing this error? What is the resolution?

If there is any other better way to provide syntax highlighting of source code I would be glad to accept it.

I know there is something called "listings" but frankly, i did not find the colors so good in it.

Thanks,

Perhaps you could give minted a try … it basically does the same as texments but has more features and is a little more robust in the face of errors.

Furthermore, as the maintainer of minted I’m always glad of error reports. ;-)
