Hmm, I have reverted to pdflatex and still get the error. I note that were some errors when I make all see below, could this be the issue ??
I have to prepare for a class tomorrow so I going to switch back to the stable version and try to debug some more tomorrow Here is my beamer definition (Very similar to users except the \makeatletter (add-to-list 'org-latex-classes '("beamer" " \\makeatletter\\let\\ifGm@compatii\\relax\\makeatother \\documentclass\[t]{beamer\}" ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}") ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}") ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}") )) Thanks M In end of data: org.el:23923:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined: characterp, activate-mark, mouse-set-point, with-demoted-errors, clear-image-cache, face-at-point, image-refresh, beginning-of-visual-line, invisible-p Wrote /Users/doyley/Dropbox/root/elisp/org-mode/lisp/org.elc Compiling /Users/doyley/Dropbox/root/elisp/org-mode/lisp/ox-ascii.el...
