-   When compiling LaTeX using =C-c C-c= a latex compile command is run. When
-   using the =Minted=-package for LaTeX, one must compile with the flag
- =shell-escape=. Here is a not-quite-so-elegant fix.

+   I like using the [[https://code.google.com/p/minted/][Minted]] package for source blocks in LaTeX. To make org
+   use this we add the following snippet.
+
    #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes
-     (setcar (cdr (cddaar tex-compile-commands)) " -shell-escape ")
+     (add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "minted"))
+     (setq org-latex-listings 'minted)
    #+END_SRC
 
+   Because [[https://code.google.com/p/minted/][Minted]] uses [[http://pygments.org][Pygments]] (an external process), we must add the
+ =-shell-escape= option to the =org-latex-pdf-process= commands.
