[O] Trouble with Export

[Kenneth Jacker]

[ Ubuntu 12.04.2; org-8.0.7 ]

I was working on this file (as well as other more complicated ones):

 * alpha
 * beta
   * b1
   * b2
 * gamma

and I invoked 'org-export'.  Entering an `h' produced these errors:

  Exporting...

Tried to figure out what's wrong, but failed.  The same behavior occurs
when using the prior 8.0.6.


Anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,

For starters, =M-x org-export= is the old exporter. Have you followed
along with the upgrade guide?
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html

Please try =C-c C-e h h= and see if that fares any better.

The error .txt file looks pretty garbled... do you have an explanation
for that (piped through something that didn't work quite right), or
might you have an encoding/locale setup issue?

The OP was using compiled code when he got the backtrace.

  jh> For starters, =M-x org-export= is the old exporter. 

Yes, that's what I was running ...

  jh> Have you followed along with the upgrade guide?  -

Hadn't seen that yet ... thanks for the reference.

  jh> Please try =C-c C-e h h= and see if that fares any better.

Yes, much better!

Before, I'd used =C-c C-e h h=, but couldn't remember the key binding to
invoke it. So, I was directly invoking 'org-export'.

Sorry for the oversight ... still new to Org (coming from using
Planner for *many* years) ... got a lot more to learn ...

Thanks!

PS  Are there release notes somewhere for the latest 8.0.7?  I tried
http://orgmode.org/Changes.html, but it only referred to 8.0.3 ...
