* Error when exporting as Latex

Hi

I've only just spotted this error as I don't use the Latex export very
often. When I export as Latex either to file or buffer, I get the
following error:

org-export-latex-lists: Wrong number of arguments: #[(list)
"\b\"" [list org-list-to-generic (:splicep nil :ostart
"\\begin{enumerate}" :oend "\\end{enumerate}" :ustart "\\begin{itemize}"
:uend "\\end{itemize}" ...)] 3
("c:/bin/emacs-22.3/lisp/textmodes/org-export-latex.elc" . 39820)], 2

I've tested this on a file which is unchanged from when I last
successfully exported it, many org versions ago.

Org-mode version 6.28trans
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON

Any ideas?

Thanks, Paul

Others may correct me but I think this is the same issue I had 
yesterday. The reason is that the two versions of Org - the one shipped 
with your Emacs and the latest one you installed by yourself conflict in 
some way. Some time ago the lisp-file for LaTeX export was renamed - 
perhaps this is why you get an error. My solution was to rename the 
Org-lisp-files in c:/bin/emacs-22.3/lisp/textmodes/. For example 
org-export-latex.elc gets org-export-latex.elc_save and so on. After 
that Emacs can only find the latest Org-version.

I then had to add

(require 'org-latex)

to my ~/.emacs. Hope that helps.

that worked, thanks!

It does beg the question of why these files aren't overwritten during
the installation from the git repo - I do the usual make clean && make
install && make doc routine. Is there something that I should be
amending before I do this?

I think adding the git-Org's lisp directory to the load path

    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org/lisp/")

should suffice, provided the lisp files are compiled. In that case a
second line should do:

   (require 'org-install)

But I'm not sure this works. I simply do

   sh$ rm -rf /usr/local/share/emacs/23.50.XX/lisp/org

after upgrading emacs, hence I cannot test it now.



This aspect of the load-path mechanism is not very well documented.
