I remember flailing about to get everything to work with minted and I
now find out that I did not take notes of what worked :-( However,
looking at my customizations, I find that I have included -shell-escape
in two places:
o org-mode specific: org-latex-to-pdf-process - my setting is the
default of calling pdflatex three times, so I added the -shell-escape
option to each of the three elements in that list. If you are using
texi2dvi, you'll have to do something different: not sure whether you
can pass it as an option, or whether you will need to modify the script
itself.
o auctex specific: TeX-expand-list - I customized an entry in that list to read

AFAIK, those are the only changes needed.
