If the OP deletes the .eps lines, the .png one will probably work. I say "probably", because in one of my experiments, I was able to duplicate the OP's results and get no images rendered - but try as I might, I cannot do it again :-) The .png image was rendered properly in all other experiments, and I don't know what I did in the "successful" (unsuccessful?) one. In any case, when bafflement strikes, it's probably a good idea to do the export in two steps: export to LaTeX and then compile the .tex file on the command line or with AucTeX to PDF. Any errors raised will be readily apparent - in particular, the .eps error with pdflatex. Nick PS. BTW, width=5em makes for a rather small image. > You might also check your Org-mode version.
