Greetings! I am also having difficulties running Beamer from org-mode. I am running a fully updated Ubuntu with snapshot emacs and a daily updated git version of org-mode.
I am not able to get blocks, lists, and colums to work. I have a feeling from Googling quite a bit that the problem is due to some interaction between my org-mode header and .emacs. Unfortunately, the org-mode manual does not state how to configure .emacs for Beamer export. There must be something going on with the levels of headers and the B_Block directive. Basically, I can not get the example to work. Here is the relevant part of my .emacs ------------------------------------------------- (setq org-export-latex-classes '(("article" "\\documentclass[11pt]{article}" ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}") ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}") ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}") ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}")) ("beamer" "\\documentclass[bigger]{beamer} \\usepackage{verbatim} \\definecolor{verylightgray}{rgb}{0.93,0.93,1.0} \\mode<beamer>{\\usetheme{Madrid}} \\mode<handout>{\\usecolortheme[rgb={0.5,0.5,0.5}]{structure} \\usepackage{pgfpages}} \\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos} \\setlength{\\TPHorizModule}{1mm} \\setlength{\\TPVertModule}{1mm}" ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}") ("\\begin{frame}[fragile]\\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}" "\\begin{frame}[fragile]\\frametitle{%s}" "\\end{frame}")) -------------------------------------------------------- The header is the same as from the example.
