Export to Latex error message

Export to Latex error message

[paul.mead]

Hi, wonder if you can help

I've never been able to get org-export-to-latex to work. Just downloaded v6.14
but the issue is no limited to that version. I get an error message:
org-export-latex-content: Symbol's function definition is void:
org-cleaned-string-for-export

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

downloading 6.14 will not be enough, you actually need to *install*  
it :-)

The error message you are getting shows that a very old version of Org  
is actually
being used.  You can find where these files are located by typing

M-x find-library RET org-export-latex RET
C-h v buffer-file-name RET


You need to make sure that the new version of the files are
on your load path before the old ones.

The manual section about installation is, I think, pretty
clear on how to achieve this.

well I thought that I'd installed it properly because some of the new functions
were working! Seems I had an old version of that library lurking in my
load path. I have no idea where it came from but once it was deleted, everything
worked fine. So thanks for the help and I've learned a new trick.
