Re: Org-babel and LaTeX letter

[Eric Schulte <schulte.eric@gmail.com>]

Hi Ben,

It looks to me like you need to install the wrapfig.sty LaTeX file
locally.  I'm not sure how this would be done on OSX, but as a quick
test you could just find a copy of wrapfig.sty online and copy it to the
directory holding your .org file.
