problem with latex export

problem with latex export

[Andreas Goesele]

Hi,

I have the following problem: If I start emacs (22.2.1) or xemacs
(21.4.21) normally I cannot export to latex (or pdf, which goes
through latex). The process starts, but then hangs. In XEmacs the last
thing I see is "untabify done" and then a small window with a process
bar saying "fontifying org-mode-tmp...". But there is no progress and
I have to quit. (There's a "Stop" button, but that doesn't work.) In
Emacs I just see the first time I try it: "Loading tabify...done" and
then nothing happens, again I have to quit. The second time I try it I
only get: "Exporting to LaTeX...", again everything hangs.

If I start without the init files (-q) and then load my init files by
hand everthing works. (I did this, to see whether something in my init
files causes the problems. But if everthing works if I load them
later, I guess it's not a problem of my init files.)

Org-mode is version 6.21b

Debug on quit gives under Emacs:

As I cannot reproduce this, I suggest updating to the current
git-version.

I did, but the problem continues.

I have BTW to make a small correction to my last post: There is a small
difference in the case of emacs and xemacs: Having started emacs without the
init-files I then can open and evaluate my init.el and custom.el as a whole
without causing problems. In the case of xemacs that's true only for init.el. If
I evaluate custom.el as a whole buffer the problems returns. But if a evaluate
the (only four) expressions in it one after the other - no problem.
 
Thanks again

So `M-x org-version' gives you "Org-mode 6.32trans ..."?

OK. Then we need more precise information.

1. The smallest possible file that's needed to reproduce the error.
2. If possible, execute `M-x org-submit-bug-report' and confirm to send
   your Org-mode setup. In the following screen, copy your setup and
   append it your email. Make sure to delete all private data in it.


That way we will be able to reproduce the error in most cases.

Yes.

Just two lines (the second one empty):

* Test

I did so. Trying to pinpoint the problem I now found out, that there is a line
in my custom.el causing the problem, namely: '(case-fold-search nil)

It seems to be the same problem reported in the post "LaTeX export not possible
when case-fold-search is set to nil".

Thanks again!
