Org-ref-refproc symbols function definition is void

[aminevsaziz]

I'm trying to export into docx format using pandoc. However, each time I face the same error. My workflow is the following:

1. Some org tables cross referencing and some text (with #+title attribute only) and citations no latex at all.
2. Run org-ref-export/body and choose refproc.
3. Same Error each time.
4. Tried reinstall clean install of everything nothing changed. Any solutions?

[jkitchin]

what is the error you see? Can you post a small example that illustrates the issue?

@jkitchin please a look! my config is the following:

@jkitchin any hint for solving this issue ?

[jkitchin]

Have a little patience. It looks like you have not loaded the org-ref-refproc library. See if you can build the org-file at https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/examples/refproc.org#html, following the directions at that link.

@jkitchin thank you for your reply and I did what you suggest yet the same error keep popping up !

[aminevsaziz]

@jkitchin any thing new?

[jkitchin]

I guess something is wrong with your installation. If you get that error when running the code block at https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/examples/refproc.org#html, then something is not getting loaded right. If you look in the library org-ref-refproc, do you see that funtion defined: https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref-refproc.el#L452?

Thank you. I guess you should explain a bit some stuff like how to look into library? I think I'm missing something here because When I call functions from org-ref everything is fine.

[jkitchin]

You type M-x find-library

then at the prompt type: org-ref-refproc

that should open the library. The function you are having trouble with is at the bottom of that file. If it is there, try typing:

M-x eval-buffer

that will load everything there, and it should not have any errors.

then try your export again.
