Hi Matt,

Thanks, you answered the question. When I renamed the file
"org-export-latex.el" to "org-latex.el", modified the Makefile accordingly,
rebuilt and reinstalled, it worked.

I think there's a problem with the stable distribution (org-6.25f.tar.gz) in
that it contains the unrenamed file "org-export-latex.el". Someone may want
to look into this.

Anyway, many thanks for helping me out.

Best regards,
Holger
