Bug Description

The moderncv document class v0.12 is not compatible with the standard package tabularx. Using tabularx causes the following error independent of the used moderncv style:

! LaTeX Error: \maketitle undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
 ...

l.107 \renewcommand*{\maketitle}
                                {%
Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.

A workaround is to copy and paste the \maketitle definition from the style file into the TeX document and replace \renewcommand* by \newcommand*. A test case and log file is attached to this bug. I observed this problem in an up-to-date MacTeX 2010 installation.

I can confirm this on Sabayon Linux. TexLive was installed from distribution's repository. Tested with the classic theme:
(The identification line ind moderncvthemeclassic.sty is
"\ProvidesPackage{moderncvthemeclassic}[2010/08/03 v0.12 modern curriculum vitae style: classic]")
