Hi everyone,
I am trying to use bibtex with pdf export for my thesis. So I tried
customising =org-latex-to-pdf-process= so that bibtex is run before
pdflatex. So from the customise buffer I set it to something like this:
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f
bibtex %b
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f
I also tried these,
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %b
bibtex %b
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %b
pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %b
But none of these run bibtex properly. For now I am exporting to latex
everytime I change the bibliography and run bibtex from the terminal.
For subsequent pdf exports the default values then give me a proper pdf
with all the citations displayed correctly.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for your response. I have outlined what I tried and found below.

I tried that after your post, didn't seem to make a difference. I don't
know how to find how bibtex fails. All I see are these lines in the
"*Org PDF LaTeX Output*" buffer:
> No file msthesis.bbl.

Does that say anything to you? How do I capture the output from bibtex?
I presumed it is being overwritten by subsequent pdflatex runs. So I
removed the later pdflatex runs from the variable and that gives me
this output in the "*Org PDF LaTeX Output*" buffer.

However with the same tex file, after I run "bibtex msthesis" from the
terminal everything is fine! I even tried specifying the %b.aux in the
org-latex-to-pdf-process variable with no luck.

I use the TeXLive distributed by CTAN in isos. I setup my path so it
finds the right binaries whenever I'm working with latex. I am sure my
setup is fine as things are as expected when run from the teminal.

I tried that, no luck. It gets stuck at some line and fails. I think
there is some problem with one of the packages I am using for
equations. Putting back "-interactionmode nonstop" makes the pdflatex
process continue to the end and produce the pdf.

Its my private desktop and laptop, and I can be quite paranoid about
security usually so that part is somewhat covered. :) Maybe I'll
consider it later.
If you are otherwise worried about whether I'm picking up the correct
version of pdflatex, I see the following version information in the
"*Org PDF LaTeX output*" buffer:
> This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
So its as expected.
Thank you for your thoughts about my issue, appreciate it.

I think you should try to sort this out first. What happens if you
export to latex and then invoke pdflatex directly yourself? Which
package is causing the error?
In any case, once you have the latex, you can try the individual steps
directly. I would recommend using auctex mode within Emacs. You should
be able to mimic the behaviour of org's pdf export by repeated use of
C-c C-c in auctex mode.

You could try creating a shell script (such as attached) which invokes
both pdflatex and bibtex and tell org to use that command for exporting
to pdf instead. Then all the output should come out to the screen.
I've tried this and all the output (3 pdflatex and 1 bibtex invocations)
comes out into the =*Org PDF Latex Output*= buffer.

Thank you for this nice idea. I tried it, but every time I (without the
-interaction nonstopmode option) the pdflatex process stops at this:

The amsmath package is loaded before this.
In my preamble in the org file I have the following LaTeX options:
> #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{cancel}

In the tex file this exports to:

At first I thought its a problem with the mathtools package, but
removing it doesn't help either.
Is this a problem with my Latex installation? I tried both my
distribution provided texlive-2007 and texlive-2010 from the CTAN
archives with the same result. If its a problem with my texlive
installation, do you have any ideas where I can seek help? I'm rather
pressed for time.
Thanks a lot for being so patient. :)

Strangely, with "-interaction nonstopmode" using the shell script trick
gives me perfect results! I guess I can keep using this until the real
issue is resolved.

Aloha Suvayu,
I haven't looked into this in depth, but I think your problem might
come from loading amssymb and amsmath. LaTeX is complaining that
something is already defined; the AMS packages are a prime suspect
here. Perhaps you could inhibit amssymb?
All the best,
Tom

I think this is indeed the problem. I had this problem a month or so

Well, not so strange: if the error (iint redefined) is not one that
actually affects your latex code, then telling latex to not stop on
errors allows it to create your pdf file. more importantly, it is able
to generate the information that bibtex subsequently needs to generate
the bibliography.
Anyway, I'm glad I could help! See my other email on how to solve the
original problem.

Thanks a lot, that worked like a charm. :)
Although I get perfect results using the Fedora 13 provided texlive
(2007), I noticed I get that old error again (quoted below) when I use
the texlive 2010 install from CTAN. Maybe some problem in my setup. I
will use my distribution provided texlive for now.
Thanks again for being so patient and helping with my issues. :)

Hi Eric, Thomas,
is there a problem in the default setup of LaTeX export that needs to be addressed?

Not as such in the default.
The issue arises when one wants to extend the defaults to include the
amsmath package. This conflicts with the wasysym package included by
default by org. Both packages define the =\iint= symbol and latex
doesn't allow for such clashes nicely.
The suggested fix is to use this magic (to me) code suggested by
Lawrence Mitchell earlier this year:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; to fix problems with amsmath conflicting with wasysym:

(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "amsmath" t))
(setcar (rassoc '("wasysym" t) org-export-latex-default-packages-alist) "integrals")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
modifying, I guess, what is actually loaded from wasysym. I've not
delved more into this but Lawrence may be able to help here?
Thanks,
eric

Sorry; this I cannot help with much as I'm not sure what is happening
here and I've never run into this before.
Are there any problems with that file (e.g. read only mode)? Is the
file there? If so, what happens if you remove it? It should be created
automatically by bibtex.
Have you tried searching the web with that error message (e.g. google
bibtex openout_any)?

This happens with a clean working directory.

I found a recent (Jan 2010) discussion about this. There was a change in
behaviour for bibtex in the latest texlive build which leads to this
behaviour. You can follow the discussion in this thread[1]. The TeX
developers expect external tools like org and other editor plugins to
adapt to this change. I think this is why I was having problems in the
first place, not sure how this can be resolved though. If we find a
solution it would be worth a mention on Worg.

Ah, very interesting. What I don't understand is why this is affecting
you. I can see it affecting you if the aux file cannot be found but not
if the first pdflatex step worked okay. Do you still have the problem
if the first step worked?
If so, and if you still have the sh file I sent to the list yesterday,
can you add the following line to the top:
echo 'Invoked in dir ' $PWD
and post the output (the first few lines only) of the export to PDF when
you get the error with bibtex?

Before the first pdflatex run the working directory seems correct:

In the output for this run I see some lines like these:

I guess that means the .aux files are created?

Despite the above, for bibtex I get the following:

Explicitly calling the texlive 2007 bibtex resolves the problem.
As per one of Tom's suggestions earlier in the thread, if I set
(setq org-export-pdf-remove-logfiles nil)
I can see the .aux files present after the final pdflatex run. Not
sure why bibtex overlooks that since the working directory seems
correct.

Well, actually, this indicates that the aux file is being read by
pdflatex. But obviously it must exist therefore...

Oh well, there goes that theory. The web link you gave yesterday would
seem to indicate that the problem is present if you invoke the bibtex
command from another directory and this does not appear to be the case
here. Very strange.
> Explicitly calling the texlive 2007 bibtex resolves the problem.
Well, at least you can get this working for now but obviously there is a
problem we are going to have to sort out as more users move to 2010. I
am using texlive 2009 on Debian and that version doesn't have this
problem. Texlive 2010 isn't available (yet) for Debian even in unstable
so I cannot easily test this out unfortunately. I'll have a look to see
if it's in Debian's experimental distribution when I get a chance.
