Well I installed emacs as you did and still didn't work but if I use your
configuration file it works fine and exports. I like the features for
org-mode so I might merge some of the things in my setup files and just use
your configuration. What's the best way to get it as the default on
macbook? I know I can link the init.el to .emacs but how do I make sure it
knows where the jmax folder resides on the system.
