bug: latex exporter

[Charles Millar]

Since Monday morning (New York time) I have not been able to export to 
pdflatex (worked OK the night before). Instead the message buffer reads

symbol's value as variable is void - compile

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7) of 
2014-03-07 on lamiak, modified by Debian

Yeah, sorry about the inconvenience!

You do not provide enough information.  Did you reload Org?  How do you
export?  Did you try to produce a backtrace?  What does that show?
Maybe try with minimal settings?

Please see: http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

It seems as if no one got the email I sent out yesterday, very odd.

Yes, I think gmane had problems. They seem to be fixed now: at least,
I've seen the couple of replies that I had posted.

Not only this thread but the list for about two days. At times over 24 
hours elapsed before a message showed up.
It appears that this bug relating to the latex exporter was reported 
three times. According to the dates Rainer Krug first reported it at 
05:11 on Sep 29; before I sent my message (this thread on Sep 29 at 
05:37) ) I checked to see if it had been reported and nothing showed. 
Kushai apparently sent his report a few hours later. AFIK none of these 
were on the list for several hours.

I checked gmane and the org list as well as my email for any replies. I 
discovered that the exporter bug had been fixed when I looked at the 
orgmode git site, so I posted a thank you. Again, at that time I posted, 
nothing on the list reported the fix had been taken care of, although it 
is obvious that two hours before I sent that message Nick and Rasmus had 
posted messages to that effect.

Since this morning everything seems fine.

Above are just observations, nothing more.

And now you made me feel old...

(I know the phrase only from history books, not first-hand.  And from
dunnet.el, of course.)

Then you're not old!  :-)

I know it from first hand experience, playing adventure on an Amdahl 470
using a DECwriter (paper, not CRT) terminal, back in the prehistory of
computing!

But, as this is the org mailing list, to keep it on topic, adventure was
definitely "all text"!  ;-)

Now you made me want to write a text-adventure game engine on top of
Org-mode...

I'm afraid that you have just ruined a few weeks of my life...
