Thanks Jonathan! Yes, I had commented out =(require 'org-install)= .
I'd taken the FAQ instructions for ELPA installations to apply more broadly than they do: ;; Functionality of Org-mode's org-install.el is supplanted by ;; Package Manager's org-autoloads.el. Since Package Manager ;; autoloads Org-mode, the following line (require 'org-install) in ;; your .emacs is no longer required and can be safely removed. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html Now M-x org-version gives (correctly): Org-mode version 7.8.11 (release_7.8.11-16-ge67734 @ g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/org-7.8.11-dev/lisp/) Thanks again! -BC On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 5:29 AM, Jonathan Leech-Pepin <jonathan.leechpe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I haven't had any issues with Org and Cygwin lately.
