Eric, I don't have auctex installed, and org-ref works fine for me.
But I do run a recent self-compiled emacs 24 (haven't tested yet, if it works with my older emacs24 from debian as well), and I get updated packages like dash relatively often via cask ( https://github.com/cask/cask , http://cask.github.io/ ), i. e. I have in my Cask file (depends-on "dash") so it wouldn't have happend to me to have an outdated dash pkg, isolating your problem and pointing at what exactly is causing your trouble is of course more difficult (and creating a minimal config that works for me takes more time than I currently have, sorry). Hope this helps, nevertheless -Andreas Eric S Fraga <e.fr...@ucl.ac.uk> writes: > John, > > another data point.
