Re: Problem with beamer export

[Marvin Doyley <marvinpas@gmail.com>]

Hmm,

I have reverted to pdflatex and still get the error. I note that were some errors when I make all see below, could this be the issue ??

I have to prepare for a class tomorrow so I going to switch back to the stable version and try to debug some more tomorrow

Here is my beamer definition (Very similar to users except the \makeatletter
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes 
            '("beamer"
"
\\makeatletter\\let\\ifGm@compatii\\relax\\makeatother
\\documentclass\[t]{beamer\}"
 ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
  ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
 ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
))


Thanks
M
