What's the output of =M-x org-version= ?

Your example with the #+attr_latex line above gives this: #+begin_src latex \begin{longtable}{|r|r|} \toprule First & Age\\ Name & (years)\\ \midrule \endhead ... ... #+end_src Keep in mind I'm using booktabs, so instead of \[top/mid]rule, you'd get \hline with a default setup. Things look decent to me in the output. If you're on the "old exporter," see here for upgrading: - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html Good luck!
