Re: [O] latex to png not working

[Vicente Vera]

The problem went away once i changed the values for both TEMP and TMP environment variables to "C:\Temp" (without quotation marks). This---i think---has to do with long filenames (path to TEMP folder).

Great, great job by the way. Org makes so much things easier. Thank you very much!

Hello. I'm trying to export an Org file with some basic latex code (block with "#+BEGIN_SRC latex :file block1.png" and "tex:dvipng" in "#+OPTIONS:") but this shows up in the *Messages* buffer:

The ODT document is created but, obviously, without the PNG formulas. It happens too with inline LaTeX fragments:

Org's LaTeX preview doesn't work either. The dvi files are not being created.

My setup includes:

- Windows XP SP3

- Emacs 24.3.1 with Org 8.2.1 (20131007 from ELPA) and AUCTeX 11.87.1 (from ELPA); everything correctly (and cleanly) installed

- TeX Live 2013 (full install), on Windows' PATH

Standalone dvipng works ok (tried it with a small dvi file through Windows command line) and latex too (through cmd, Org---latex & pdf export--- and AUCTeX).

Thanks for reading.
