Hi Robert, thanks much for your time.

For the configuration that opens the pdf, that is: 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/) the *Messages* buffer contains: For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a. Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex... Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex Processing LaTeX file ./scr.tex... Process completed. Type C-c C-c to toggle between editing or viewing the document. For the configuration that does not open the pdf: 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/) the *Messages* buffer contains: For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a. Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex... Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex Processing LaTeX file scr.tex... PDF file produced. Running /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/cochard/tmp/scr.pdf...done This does not ring any bell for me, but maybe it will for you or someone else. In view of your results, I have now tried with emacs 26 and master: Emacs : GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2018-05-30 Package: Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-894-gf79545 @ /home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp/) and the pdf does open as expected. The *Messages* buffer contains For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a. Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex... Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex Processing LaTeX file scr.tex... PDF file produced. So I guess this suggests that there is a problem with my emacs 24.5.1, which is the default on my Fedora 23 distribution. (NB: The emacs 26.1 used above is built from source and I can't make it fully work for regular use, i.e., with my normal .emacs.)
