orgmode 7.7 broke latex beamer export

orgmode 7.7 broke latex beamer export

I just upgraded to version 7.7 from an early version of 7 (7.0 or 7.1 I
believe), and it broke my ability to export a beamer presentation from
orgmode to PDF. After some poking around I found that the default value of
org-latex-to-pdf-process was the problem. Placing the following in my .emacs
fixed the problem:

(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
      '("pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode %f" "pdflatex
-interaction=nonstopmode %f"))

This may be a known issue, but I didn't find anything in a quick search of
the mailing list. I thought I would post here for the benefit of anyone else
who may run into the same problem.

How is that different from the default?

("pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
 "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
 "pdflatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f")

Hi suvayu,

pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode
                     ^
                    maybe?

I think the '=' sign is optional (which is often the case for most
*nix utilities). In any case the OP responded later that upgrading
resolved the original issue. Probably the issue was some stale
byte-compiled file. :-/
