problems with latex custom classes in new exporter

OK, I took the plunge and upgraded to org-8.0 and tried the new exporter.

The HTML export works fine! However, I'm having trouble exporting to PDF
via LaTeX.

I use a LaTeX custom class which I hired someone to create for me, which I
load as a preference file latex.el: http://pastebin.com/SW0Xqe2h
(the custom class is called ilija).

It worked perfectly up to org 7.9.4.

But now my PDF documents are coming out all garbled:

Here's the Org PDF LaTeX Output:
http://pastebin.com/rQmkzBYa

I don't really know how to interpret all those errors, except that I do
notice this:

Package hyperref Error: Wrong driver option `xetex',
(hyperref)                because XeTeX is not detected.

Again, it was working before I upgraded to 8.0.2, and it still works
perfectly when I load org-7.9.4 instead of org-8.0.2.

Reference: OSX 10.8.3, Aquamacs 2.4 / Emacs 23.3.50.1 / org-8.0.2.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Best,
Peter

The old org-latex-to-pdf-process variable (which you are initializing
in your latex.el file) has been renamed to org-latex-pdf-process. I
presume that you are not touching the latter, so it's left at default,
so the exporter ends up invoking pdflatex instead of xelatex.

You probably want to duplicate the setting in latex.el so that it will
continue working in both 8.0 and 7.9.4, rather than eliminating the old
one:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
  '("xelatex -interaction nonstopmode %f"
     "xelatex -interaction nonstopmode %f")) ;; for multiple passes

(setq org-latex-pdf-process
  '("xelatex -interaction nonstopmode %f"
     "xelatex -interaction nonstopmode %f")) ;; for multiple passes
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

or just:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-latex-pdf-process org-latex-to-pdf-process)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(Untested).

Brilliant. That worked perfectly. Thank you!
