[O] Problems with pdf export (and bibtex) after upgrading to TeXLive-2011 on Lion

[Tony Ware]

After upgrading to Lion and TeXLive-2011, I found my pdflatex export
was no longer working (in that it would only call pdflatex once, and
would not run bibtex). Having spent a couple of hours finding a
solution, I thought I should share to perhaps save some others the
trouble.

I had to do two things to fix the problem:
1) set my org-latex-to-pdf-process variable to ("pdflatex -interaction
batchmode -output-directory %o %b" "bibtex %b" "pdflatex -interaction
batchmode -output-directory %o %b" "pdflatex -interaction batchmode
-output-directory %o %b").
Using
-interaction nonstopmode
(which I was in my previous setting) no longer seemed to work - the
whole thing seemed to exit after the first call to pdflatex, so that
subsequent commands were not executed.
2) add the line
openout_any=r
(or openout_any=a)
to the file
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf.
Apparently, the default is openout_any=p, where the p stands for
'paranoid', and as a result bibtex refuses to write the .blg file.

Cheers,

Tony Ware
