Re: [O] org mode error "pdf wasn't produced"

[John Hendy]

Dejere,


Org-mode is not able to find your latex installation. That's the
problem, just as it says: it's trying to run the compilation command,
`pdflatex` and it can find no such thing.

Either it's not installed, or it's not in your path. The more details
you can provide, the better. For starters 1) what latex variant is
installed and 2) is it in your path (and how do you know)?


Best regards,
John
