This is a Latex problem, but I am hoping someone here can trow some
light on it. I was trying out the Koma Letter Export script. I get the
following error when trying to create a pdf from the "Simple letter
example".
)) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/koma-script/DIN.lco)
(/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty
(/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel-english/english.ldf
(/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.def)))
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
Chopping down the text file to the minimal:
\documentclass{scrlttr2} \usepackage[english]{babel} [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\begin{document}
\end{document}
still gives the error. However, if I remove [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] I
don't get the error. I spent some time Googling, but can't find anything
helpful.

No, it's not a LaTeX problem.
> \documentclass{scrlttr2} \usepackage[english]{babel} [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
This line is no valid LaTeX code. As you already mentioned, if you
remove `[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]', the pdflatex run works.
Please check your Emacs variable org-latex-classes.
Here is what I have in this variable for my letter class:
,----
| ("letter_private" "\\documentclass[fontsize=11pt,strey_privat]{scrlttr2}\n\\LoadLetterOption{DIN}\n[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]\n[PACKAGES]\n[EXTRA]"
| ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
| ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
| ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))
`----
Best regards

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the help. I did have org-latex-classes set correctly. I
discovered the cause of the problem when I found that if I let org
generate the pdf file it worked correctly. However, if I used pdflatex,
or xelatex from the command line on the generated tex file, I still got
the error.
Looking at how org produces the pdf file it uses the "nonstopmode" in
the command line arguments to pdflatex. So when I used xelatex with this
option:
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode test.tex
The pdf file was generated correctly. I don't think this actually fixes
the error, but the sledgehammer approach seems to work in this case:)
Ian.

I think this letter class is wrong. Here is mine for beamer (note the
"\[" before the options to be substituted by the export process):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
'("beamer"
"\\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
\[PACKAGES]
\[EXTRA]"
("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This tell latex to continue compiling even if there are errors. I'm not
sure you want to rely on this.

Note that you don't need to escape the `[' with `\': it's not a regexp simply
a string; hence, `[' does not need to be escaped.
Best regards,
Seb

Ah, good to know, thanks for the information. I forgot were I copied
this snippet, but I see that the example at
http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html also escapes
many things.
