Hi,

Nick, thank you. Setting the org-latex-pdf-process variable as you
suggested resolved the LaTeX error during the export step.

However, the minted syntax colour highlighting does not work as
expected, all python/bash/XML code appear in one colour (black).

I had included (setq org-export-latex-listings 'minted) in my .emacs
file and it worked fine before the upgrade to 8.0.3.

Is there any variable that had changed and need to be set for the
syntax highlighting to work properly?

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Senthil
