Re: orgmode/beamer - won't export blocks

[Benjamin Slade <slade@jnanam.net>]

Thanks, Sebastien and Eric.

I updated to org-mode v7.5 [stable], but I'm still having the same problem.

I include below a minimal example and also the snippet of code in my
.emacs config file which is relevant.

Cheers, Ben.

I have the following in my .emacs, in case there's something here that
is causing a problem (taken from

Benjamin,

But that is quite old.  That thread ended inconclusively because the OP
never got back to us with further details.  And as Sebastien says:

Please give us a small *complete* org file (say, one slide with one or
two blocks) that doesn't work and we can see what is happening.  It
might also be worthwhile updating your version to org to the most recent
stable release (7.5), if you can.

In any case, I would suggest you look at the configuration options in
your org file, specifically #+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL and the H: #+OPTIONS
setting.

I use org+beamer practically daily and it works just fine!
