Fancyhdr and redefinition of leftmark/rightmark

I am writing a long document and I decided to change the headers, using fancyhdr :



documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}

renewcommand*thesection{arabic{section}}

usepackage{fancyhdr}
% Fancyhdr setup
fancypagestyle{main}{
fancyhead{} % clear all header fields
fancyhead[LE]{footnotesize{scshapenouppercase{Chapitre~thechapter ~- ~leftmark}}}
fancyhead[RO]{footnotesize{scshapenouppercase{thesection~-~rightmark}}}
fancyfoot{} % clear all footer fields
fancyfoot[LE,RO]{thepage}
renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0 pt}
renewcommand{footrulewidth}{0 pt}
renewcommand{sectionmark}[1]{markright{#1}}
renewcommand{chaptermark}[1]{markboth{#1}{}}
}
begin{document}
end{document}


The problem is this code does not compile, and the problem is whit the two lines :



renewcommand{sectionmark}[1]{markright{#1}}
renewcommand{chaptermark}[1]{markboth{#1}{}}


To solve the problem I just put them outside the definition of main headers, but it doesn't give the same result.



How should I fix this error without changing my headers ?



PS. I want the headers to be on right pages like "3 - Section title" and on the left pages (except at a begining of a chapter) like "Chapitre 1 - Title of chapter"



Thanks.

    You shouldn't have the redefinition of sectionmark and chaptermark in the code for the page style.
