You cannot have \href on a line on its own. Instead use \href{http://...} {http://...} The hyperref manual doesn't show any examples that have \href on its own on a line, so I'll assume for the moment that it's just not intended to be used like that. Thanks for the report.
It did work on separate lines under RedHat 7.1, but obviously I can make that change. Thanks for the help.
