Export to LaTeX buffer

Export to LaTeX buffer

[Hoffmann, Jobst]

Hello to all users of this list, this is my first posting.

The org-mode manual version Release 9.1.6 (release 9.1.6-567-gbb5e79)
says on page 159, that export of an org file to a LaTeX buffer is doneby C-c C-e l L. 

This ends in a message

"Autoloading failed to define function turn-on-orgstruct"

A little bit of googling tells me, that "[O] [ANN] OrgStruct is dead.
Long live Orgalist."

So I can't go on with my usual work flow, but what should I do instead?
Do I have to write an elisp function, which opens the file generated by
C-c C-e l l and deletes all the document stuff surrounding the contents?
I'm interested only in the bare (LaTeX-prepared) content, because I
continue processing the the contents in my own environment.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance
Jobst

This looks like a mixed installation. "turn-on-orgstruct" does not exist
in master branch, which you seem to be using.

I suggest making sure you properly load Org from the git repository
instead of some other location.

in addition, i find it useful to have a single location for load-path.
otherwise requires and autoloads can do strange things.

Yes, I even did a clean install:

git clone

and the commands as described in "Using Org’s git repository":

                        CURR_DIR=$(pwd)
                        # make test
                        make
                        make doc
                        make refcard
                        make config

                        printf "Only root can do this...\n"
                        sudo make --directory=${CURR_DIR} install

This is what the installation process said:

========= Emacs executable and Installation paths
EMACS	= emacs
DESTDIR	= 
ORGCM	= dirall
ORG_MAKE_DOC	= info html pdf
lispdir	= /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org
infodir	= /usr/share/info
datadir	= /usr/share/emacs/etc/org
testdir	= /tmp/tmp-orgtest
========= Additional files from contrib/lisp

========= Org version
make:  Org mode version 9.1.7 (release_9.1.7-516-gbc7b24.dirty =>
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org)

As there is no real error, I can't produce a backtrace, but I try to
follow the call chain of the uncompiled files - at the moment without
success.

I'm quite desperated, do you have an idea?

Best regards
Jobst

Could your local changes interfere with the export process?

Not really.

No, these local changes are done to see the call chain. It ended up at
line 6223, where post-process is called. This function is LaTeX-mode,
which is defined as an alias for latex-mode. latex-mode is defined in
tex-mode, but I don't have the sources. Anyway, this is the point where
the shit happens.

I got around by defining a small loaddef file, which provides the
missing function. This ends up with an error, but the buffer which I
need is generated and I can do my final steps on it.

If you find a better solution, please let me know.

Answering myself: just installed emacs 26.1 from Fedora 28 and the
problem is gone!
