 No, the exporter should have done that. Post your org file and the
 resulting tex file.

 Also, the version of your org mode: C-u M-x org-version will insert
 it in the current buffer.

Thank you for your help!

I'm using Org-mode version 8.2.6 (8.2.6-22-gb11b4a-elpaplus @
/home/steven/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20140519/)

I mocked up a smaller reproduction of the problem, because the original
file is too large. The same errors were produced. There's a file called
test.log, too, which I'm not pasting in here because of its length, but
I can if it would be helpful. Here's my org-mode document:

I think we need the whole output buffer of the pdf compilation by
pdflatex. I have the impression in your system you lack some of the used
latex packages.

Yes, please: as Igor Sosa Mayor mentioned, you are probably missing some
latex packages. The document exports and compiles without any problems
here. If you are on Linux and use the TeXlive distribution of TeX, then
you can check for the existence of e.g. package ulem with

kpsewhich ulem.sty

Not sure about other systems.

I'd suggest that you use this style of quote:


--8---cut here---start-8---
Quoted text
--8---cut here---end---8---

for stuff that your correspondents might want to use: easier to
just cut-and-paste. This is done with the command

 M-x message-mark-inserted-region

(which is bound to C-c M-m by default I think).

you have to install the wrapfig package. If you're in debian/ubuntu:

No, the exporter should have done that. Post your org file and the

Also, the version of your org mode: C-u M-x org-version will insert
