problem with LaTeX exporter

[Brian van den Broek]

Hi all,


Sorry, I forgot some needed details in my last:

Emacs version 22.0.91.1 on ubuntu. Org-mode 5.06.

(I've just seen the 5.06b announcement. I will try that and see if it 
makes a difference. I will post only if it does.)

Best,

problem with LaTeX exporter

[Brian van den Broek]

Hi all,

I've encountered a problem with the LaTeX export function. If I visit 
an org-mode file and invoke <C-c C-e L> I get the error message

Symbol's function definition is void: caddr

I followed the instructions in the manual to produce a backtrace. 
However, when I load emacs with org.el (as opposed to letting it load 
org.elc) the problem disappears. The backtrace generated when running 
org.elc on a minimal testing document is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function caddr)
   caddr((t "LaTeX" "BEGIN_LaTeX" "END_LaTeX"))
   org-export-latex-cleaned-string()
   org-latex-cleaned-string-for-export(#("This file is for 
testing.\n\nIt has no real content.\n\n" 0 52 (fontified nil)) 
:for-html nil :comments nil :for-LaTeX t :skip-before-1st-heading nil 
:LaTeX-fragments nil)
   org-export-as-latex(nil nil nil "*Org LaTeX Export*")
   org-export-as-latex-to-buffer(nil)
   call-interactively(org-export-as-latex-to-buffer)
   org-export()
   call-interactively(org-export)


I also noticed that when I did the make/make install dance to install 
5.06, the make command produced a number of warnings concerning 
org-export-latex and related functions. The most pertinent seems:

In end of data:
org-export-latex.el:1212:1:Warning: the following functions are not 
known to
     be defined: caddr, cadddr

Since the make output is pretty big, I've put a temporary copy up at 
<http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~broek/orgmodemakeerror.txt>

I'm pretty new to emacs and org-mode has occasioned my first use of 
make in anger, so user error is entirely possible :-)

Any suggestions?

Thanks and best,

Brian vdB

I just forget to include (require 'cl) at compilation time. Fixed in the
next release. 

Thanks for reporting this!

Hi Bastien and all,

With 5.07a, running the LaTeX exporter now produces ``Symbol's value 
as variable is void: footnote-section-tag-regexp.'' This time, it 
doesn't matter if I am using org.elc or org.el.

Thanks and best,

Fixed in 0.28, along with other bugs:
