Use a minimal .emacs, something like this (adjust path to suit your situation): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp") (require 'org-loaddefs) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then start emacs with emacs -q -l /path/to/minimal/.emacs Visit an org file and try latex exporting. If that works, then your init file is screwed up. If it doesn't, then your org-mode installation is screwed up. Nick
