Symbol's function definition is void: search

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 11078 bytes --]

Hi,

I was trying to manage my technical journal papers using Orgmode.
I followed instructions from the following links

http://tincman.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/research-paper-management-with-emacs-org-mode-and-reftex/
http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/weblog/2012/03/23/how-to-manage-and-export-bibliographic-notesrefs-in-org-mode/

I have three files
1. bibliography file with extension .bib (bibPhD.bib)
2. one list file where I save names of papers etc with .org extension
(bibListDrBx.org)
3. one notes file with .org extension where I write notes related to papers
listed in item 2 (bibNotesDrBx.org)

There are links with rtcite , so that i can jump from one file to another
at desired location.

The following is the content of bibNotesDrBx.org
---------------------------------------------------------------
#+LINK: biblist
rtcite:~/Dropbox/OrgDrBx/ResearchDrBx/BibListOrgDrBx/bibListDrBx.org::#%s
#+LINK: bib rtcite:~/Dropbox/OrgDrBx/ResearchDrBx/BibDrBx/bibPhD.bib::%s
# \bibliography{~/Dropbox/OrgDrBx/ResearchDrBx/BibDrBx/bibPhD}

[[bib:paper2012][paper2012-bib]]    [[biblist:paper2012][paper2012-biblist]]


--------------------------------------------------------------
The above file works fine. It can connect with other files perfectly. It
can make pdf wth C-c C-e p.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Problem is in the following file bibListDrBx.org
The following is the content of bibListDrBx.org file
-----------------------------------------------------------------

\bibliography{~/Dropbox/OrgDrBx/ResearchDrBx/BibDrBx/bibPhD}{}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This file also successfully connects with pdf and other files.
Problem is, when I press C c C e p to make pdf of the file bibListDrBx.org
, it says *"Symbol's function definition is void: search"*

i have located the lines which are causing error.
and those are
** Name of my journal entry
:PROPERTIES:
:Custom_ID: paper2012
:END:
[[papers:paper2012][paper2012-paper]]    [[bib:paper2012][paper2012-bib]]

Now these lines were there in my bibNotesDrBx.org files also and I have no
issue in making pdf of that file. What is wrong with the other file
(bibListDrBx.org)  ?

Replace this last line with this

                             (or search "rtcite:" desc)))


I did no test this, though, just a wild guess.

I tried with replacing the whole line i.e (equal 0 (search "rtcite:" desc)))

Now the last error message os gone but during pdf export i get a new error
message
"Exporting to pdf... done, with some errors: [undefined reference]"

thanks a lot :)

only this line.

You get this error because Emacs tries to evaluate

  (search "rtcite:" desc)

... and it cannot, because search is not a function.  
Search here is a variable (a string), hence 
(or search "rtcite:" desc))) should return something
sensible.

Hi,

I did what you said but still it is giving the same error,..[undefined
reference]

There is one line in the org file

[[papers:paper2012][paper2012-paper]]
[[bib:paper2012][paper2012-bib]]
[[biblist:paper2012][paper2012-biblist]]

This line is giving the error. If I remove this line from my org file, then
everything is perfect. While I am trying to export pdf including that line,
i am getting the error .[undefined reference].

Thanks a lot.

It looks like this is a problem of a missing reference, not a problem
with Org.  You need to check the BibTeX references.

Hi,

I am sure it is not a case of missing reference. The reasons are 1) I have
checked it 2) The reftex shows those references correctly and I can
incorporate the reference from the search in my org file 3) rtcite
successfully links the references and I can jump to those references using
the links made in the document.

So must be there is something needs to be added in the .emacs or there are
some other ways to solve the problem, if it is not some error in orgmode.

I had provided the files and .emacs content in my first mail. If it is
needed, I can send the files.

Thanks.

Hi,

UPDATE: The same files when I ran and exported on my department computer,
it is working fine.

Thanks a lot.

Yesterday I was trying on my laptop. Both the machines have latest
emacs-snapshot and Ubuntu 12.04. Any comment on this will be appreciated.

Thanks again.

I would check your org configuration and setup.  A binary search through
your configs should be quite helpful.
