I think Yagnesh is talking about this thread:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/48512/focus=48526>

I took a quick look at the commit (ca49e89) and the source (org-latex.el
line 888), but everything looks good to me. To add more information,
while exporting to latex I get the following warning when auctex site
files are present.

Export buffer:
Exporting to LaTeX...
Warning: defvar ignored because TeX-master is let-bound
Making TeX-master buffer-local while let-bound!

Hope this clearly explains the problem I am facing.

PS: BTW, why is AUCTeX not part of Emacs?
