Without configuration, export framework and default back-ends are not
loaded along with Org, but the first you need them (by calling an
autoloaded function).
You may be trying to modify `org-latex-classes' before having `ox-latex'
loaded.
You can either explicitly (require 'ox-latex) before that, which will
load all export framework along with Org, or use the following
construct:
(eval-after-load 'ox-latex
'(add-to-list ...))
In the latter case, you still get framework loaded only when you need it
the first time.
