Hi Nicolas, the org version I included in that original email was: Org mode version 9.0.1 (9.0.1-elpaplus @ /Users/acowley/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161118/) However I have since fixed the issue I was having. The problem was three-fold: - My `org-latex-pdf-process` was a call to latexmk that did /not/ set `-outdir`. This was fine for exporting a document as LaTeX as all the work happened in the one directory, but evaluating a LaTeX src block involves a temporary directory. - The value substituted for the `%o` placeholder in `org-latex-pdf-process` included a trailing slash which prevented it from working due to a double slash appearing in constructed paths (looking at my notes, I seem to have removed this parameter because of this problem). I now set `-outdir` to the output of a sub-shell that pipes `%o` through sed to remove the trailing slash. - I still encountered an error when evaluating the src block even though the PDF was being produced. The error was during cleanup of temporary files, specifically a .log file. The failure to delete a nonexistent file was stopping the Org machinery that would next insert the result in my document. I addressed this by changing the second parameter of the call to `directory-files` in the `org-latex-compile` function from `nil` to `t` so that it would return absolute paths. Since making those three changes, I am able to evaluate LaTeX src blocks and have the resulting figures appear in my Org document. Thanks for all the hard work, and sorry I didn't follow up on my own report more promptly. Anthony
