Can anyone help please? Org is great, but I steer away from looking for Org documentation when LaTeX isn't working. Like others have mentioned, figure out the LaTeX first, then figure out how to make Org do your LaTeX bidding. Did you read through/follow some start-to-finish instructions on how to generate indexes with LaTeX? I've never done it, but just googling "generate index latex" gets me this: - http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing Looks like you have most of what it suggests: 1) \usepackage{makeidx} 2) \makeindex in preamble (though I'm not sure why you have it twice) 3) \printindex to show the index What I don't see of it's suggestions are: 1) Use \index{key} to tell it /what/ to index. What are you hoping shows up in your index? Looks like LaTeX has no idea what words to spit out unless you tell it! 2) Looks like you still might have to run `makeindex cat` after compiling with LaTeX? Re. that last bit, can you try replacing your opening bit with: * Chapter 1 \index{Lorem} ipsum dolor... Then: - Run C-c C-e l p (hopefully that spits out a .idx file since there's at least one word you want to index) - Run `makeindex cat`, which will process the hopefully-output file, cat.idx from the previous step - Re-run C-c C-e l p from Org If that doesn't work, I'd still try LaTeX manually before posting back. So: - pdflatex cat - biber cat - makeindex cat - pdflatex cat Or something like that for your full bib/index workflow. Then, if successful, someone can tell you how to get Org to call the right LaTeX stuff.
