Hi Robert, thanks much for your time.

For the configuration that opens the pdf, that is:

   Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
   3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package:
   Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
   /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)

the *Messages* buffer contains:

   For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
   Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex...
   Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex
   Processing LaTeX file ./scr.tex...
   Process completed.
   Type C-c C-c to toggle between editing or viewing the document.

For the configuration that does not open the pdf:

   Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
   3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package:
   Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-894-gf79545 @
   /home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp/)

the *Messages* buffer contains:

   For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
   Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex...
   Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex
   Processing LaTeX file scr.tex...
   PDF file produced.
   Running /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/cochard/tmp/scr.pdf...done

This does not ring any bell for me, but maybe it will for you or
someone else.

In view of your results, I have now tried with emacs 26 and master:

   Emacs : GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
   3.18.9) of 2018-05-30 Package: Org mode version 9.1.13
   (release_9.1.13-894-gf79545 @
   /home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp/)

and the pdf does open as expected.  The *Messages* buffer contains

   For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
   Saving file /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex...
   Wrote /home/cochard/tmp/scr.tex
   Processing LaTeX file scr.tex...
   PDF file produced.

So I guess this suggests that there is a problem with my emacs 24.5.1,
which is the default on my Fedora 23 distribution.  (NB: The emacs
26.1 used above is built from source and I can't make it fully work
for regular use, i.e., with my normal .emacs.)

Regards
