I think you have some misconceptions about what org-babel-lob-ingest does. All it does is go through the file and add the named source blocks in that file to org-babel-library-of-babel: it does *not* evaluate the code blocks. So if the code block is e.g. a lisp code block with a defun in it, the function is *not* defined, until the code block is evaluated by org-babel: that's what org-sbe does. > Anyway, the dream behavior for LOB would be to simply add your files to your > `org-babel-lob-files` in your Emacs init, start up an org file -- and be able > to simply use all the LOB > files in your "live" `org-babel-library-of-babel` list library. > You can do that but again all that does is populate a list that only org-babel knows about. You'd still need to evaluate the code blocks in order to tell the inferior lisp process about what the code block define. -- Nick
