I don't know if this helps, but I am running Manj= aro, using the repository packages and have no problem with export. The ins= talled texlive packages are:

texlive-bin
texlive-core
texlive-humanities
texlive-latexextra

I have no problems with either org export or any pand= oc conversions.

Cheers,
Alan

I would also suggest referring to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_= Live#Installation for the
packages to install on Arch. I myself am using Archlinux-packaged TeX
Live without any issues. I believe I installed "texlive-most", "texlive-lang", and "biber", which are the 3 main packa= ges/groups
recommended by the wiki.
