Hello.
I read in the manual: 'C-c C-e l o' Export as LaTeX file and convert it to PDF, then open the PDF using the default viewer. I have the file ~/tmp/scr.org which contains only * head blah and file ~/.emacs.debug which contains only (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp") (find-file "~/tmp/scr.org") I do: emacs -Q -l ~/.emacs.debug and then: C-c C-e l o The compilation is OK and the pdf file is created, but not open. With 'M-x buffer-menu' one can see that the only buffers are: . scr.org 13 Org ~/tmp/scr.org *scratch* 191 Lisp Interaction %* *Messages* 367 Messages %* *Org PDF LaTeX O... 4577 Compilation I have: Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package: Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-894-gf79545 @ /home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp/) By contrast, with simply emacs -Q which corresponds to Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package: Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/) when visiting the scr.org file and typing 'C-c C-e l o', the frame splits into 2 windows and the pdf appears in one of them, as I'd expect. The buffers are . scr.org 13 Org ~/tmp/scr.org % scr.pdf 50938 DocView ~/tmp/scr.pdf *scratch* 191 Lisp Interaction %* *Messages* 283 Messages * *Org PDF LaTeX O... 4702 Fundamental Regards -- EOST (École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) IPG (Institut de Physique du Globe) | alain.coch...@unistra.fr 5 rue René Descartes [bureau 106] | Phone: +33 (0)3 68 85 50 44 F-67084 Strasbourg Cedex, France | Fax: +33 (0)3 68 85 01 25
