Thanks again, R.M.
I've not used `make up2`, so I can't comment on how that's working. It might help if you clearly listed the specific steps you used to get orgmode from git. My process, for example, is: - cd ~/.elisp - git clone http://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git - cd org.git - make clean && make && make doc I don't `make install`. You'll need to tell emacs where to run org from via your .emacs. Mine has this line: ,--- | (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp") `--- Lastly, someone suggested I run this when I was having trouble getting org setup on my Mac with an out of date version despite having done the git thing: ,--- | M-x locate-library <RET> org <RET> `--- This will show you what path emacs *thinks* org is at, despite where you think it *should* be looking. ETA: I see some other emails came in. And yes, per Nick, make sure you set the load path *before* requiring org! I made that mistake once -- quite frustrating :) Good luck! John > > > >
