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.
