I've been having a problem exporting to beamer. I've now found the problem and fixed it, but it was (to my mind) something pretty obscure, and I think it might be of interest to the list, at least as a salutary tale.
When I opened an org file such as the example beamer presentation from the manual (section 12.6.6) and executed C-c C-e d, it kept generating a .tex file with an article document class, instead of the expected beamer class.
After a few days of frustrated searching through the manual and tutorials, and this list, for any clues, I found some advice to run something like
/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el
with a series of versions of test.el progressively approximating my .emacs file. I was expecting the problem to lie in one of my org- or latex-specific settings, but eventually found the cause of the problem to be that the variable
case-fold-search
was being set to nil (its default value) as one of my custom-set-variables. I don't remember why. Anyway, according to the information from C-h v, this makes the setting buffer-local, and for some reason that fouled up the beamer export. When I commented out that line, everything worked as advertised.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could shed light on why that might be.
Cheers,
Tony

Well,
apparently Org does do a search that relies on case-fold-search
being t. Normally when this is the case
I try to set this explicitly to t during the function call.
Can you make a minimal example with your setup and a small file which
reproduced the error?

In fact, I just did put a case-fold-search binding in places where I
think it was missing. Could pu pull the latest version and then try
again *with your original setup*?
Thanks!

Hi Carsten - thanks for looking into this. I pulled the latest version and the problem was still present.
Here's a minimal setup.
I run
/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l test.el example.org<http://example.org>
with test.el containing
(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'<smb://.org//'>" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(case-fold-search nil))
and the example.org<http://example.org> containing the org document at the end of http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export:

I tried your minimal setup (thanks for providing that! it makes it so
easy to test) before and after a pull: it didn't work before but it
*did* work after the pull. I went through a make clean/make/M-x org-reload cycle -
maybe you forgot a step?
