Hi,
I found http://orgmode.org/worg/org-dependencies.html and proceeded as described
there to set up texi2dvi for LaTeX export. I don't have the egrep bug mentioned,
so all I had to do was:
1) put this in ~/.emacs:
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process "texi2dvi -p %f"); use texi2dvi; see
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-dependencies.html
2) put this in ~/.profile:
PDFLATEX="pdflatex --shell-escape"
export PDFLATEX
texi2dvi is installed on my system (Ubuntu 12.04; Emacs 24; MacBook Air 4,1) and
works. However, if I export an org-mode file via 'C-c C-e p' to LaTeX, I obtain
an error. *Messages* shows:
,----
| call-interactively: Wrong type argument: listp, "texi2dvi -p %f"
`----
Why?
Something I'm wondering: Doesn't %f stand for the base file name with ending
.ps? Shouldn't it be texi2dvi -p %t? Trying this led to the same error, though.
Cheers,
Marius

This is missing a `'(…)´ around the string. But you should rather use
customize to change that variable, which should be a list of strings
(just on in your case). Org-latex needs to have been loaded before the
variable can be customized, however.

You might not want to do this either. The canonical way to set the
environment for a single command is to define it right there with the
invocation of the command.
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process "PDFLATEX=\"pdflatex --shell-escape\" texi2dvi -p %f")
Or if your system still had the locale bug even
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process "LC_ALL=C PDFLATEX=\"pdflatex --shell-escape\" texi2dvi -p %f")
Regards,
Achim.

I added this comment to worg as well, but note that the setqs need the '(...) treatment.

Thanks for helping, Achim and Nick, exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers,
Marius
