Hi,

Just a few thoughts/questions/suggestions:
- is this your first time exporting org to LaTeX?
- If so, have you verified your LaTeX installation before?
--- If not, go here:
http://www.electronics.oulu.fi/latex/examples/example_1/index.html
--- Copy and paste the example document into a text editor and save it as
test.tex
--- From the command line, run 'pdflatex test.tex' from within the file's
directory and report back with the results
--- If successful, change \documentclass{article} to \documentclass{book}
and see what happens

- also, check some things with your path
--- do you have book.cls and book.sty in
/usr/[local]/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/ (maybe elsewhere if on Win/Mac)?
--- what is the output of 'which pdflatex' from the command line?
--- what is the output of 'tex --version' from the command line?

- For reference, see the attached files which worked for me
--- from bookTest.org I can do 'C-c C-e p' and obtain the attached pdf.
--- I can also generate a pdf of latexTest.tex (also attached) with
'pdflatex latexTest.tex' from the command line

Post back with your findings on this and someone should be able to help you
out. I *just* upgraded from 6.35 -> 7.01 last night and nothing has changed
for me. I'm thinking this has to do with your LaTeX install but could very
possibly be wrong...

#+TITLE: A Captain's Tale
#+LATEX_CLASS: book

* The Ship
** Dark & Stormy
It was a dark and stormy night on the boat. The crew gathered 'round
and asked the captain to tell them a story. "Alright," he
said. "Gather around and make yourselves comfortable. This is a story
of adventure and bravery and it begins like this..."

** The Plot Thickens
The captain continued, "It was a dark and stormy night on a boat long
away at sea. The crew gathered 'round and asked the captain to tell
them a story. 'Alright,' he said. 'Gather around and make yourselves
comfortable. This is a story of adventure and bravery and it begins
like this...'."

** I Won't Bore You
I'm sure you can see where this is going...
