Exporting PDF (new setup)

Exporting PDF (new setup)

[Peter Davis]

I'm running Org 8.2.10 on a new MacBook with El Capitan as the OS. I can't seem to get PDF export working. I get these messages:

Processing LaTeX file ./blahblahblah.tex...
/bin/bash: pdflatex: command not found [3 times]
org-latex-compile: PDF file ./blahblahblah.pdf wasn’t produced

I did install basictex, and when I enter pdflatex on the command line, it works with no problems. Any clues why org export isn't
finding the executable?

Thanks!

This:

https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

perhaps?

Ah! Thank you. That's gotten me past the first problem.

Now I'm getting:

Wrote /Users/peterdavis/Dropbox/Org/blahblahblah.tex
Processing LaTeX file ./blahblahblah.tex...
org-latex-compile: PDF file ./blahblahblah.pdf wasn’t produced: [LaTeX error]

I suppose I have to have to debug this like any LaTeX file.

Thank you, Joost.

As a first step, switch to buffer *Org PDF LaTeX Output* and check for errors.

Thanks, Nick. I found the same error I got running pdflatex in a command shell:

! LaTeX Error: File `wrapfig.sty' not found.

I had installed basictex using Homebrew (one of several Mac package managers), but I think I'd be better off with TeXLive or
MacTeX. I'm trying that now.

Thanks!

IIUC BasicTeX is a subset of TeXLive. If it comes with the TeXLive 
Manager, it should be possible to add packages on a need-to-have 
basis, rather than installing all of TeXLive. Just do `tlmgr 
install wrapfig` in a shell, or (if installed) use the graphical 
TeXLive Manager.
