That is pretty strange. I used this to get a minimally working install of
org-ref. I deleted ~/.emacs.d, and ran emacs -q and then executed this code
block.
* installation
You need the dash package. Use these repositories, and install dash.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives
'(("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/";)
("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)
("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/";)
))
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'dash)
(org-babel-load-file "~/Dropbox/kitchingroup/jmax/org-ref.org")
;; this function is normally run as a hook. we run it manually here to
;; get started.
(org-mode-reftex-setup)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: org-ref-insert-cite-link
After that, it works like I expect.
Your error seems to be coming from reftex. I wonder if you have something
set that is making it look for a TeX-master or something, which eventually
results in nil, which is failing here: re-search-forward(nil 10001 t). Or
maybe you need to set something to turn that off. Perhaps some default
changed?
