Not sure whether this is a problem, but why is org.elc in the main directory and not under ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org/lisp? Maybe you are using a left-over org.elc?

If so, does capture work? Indeed, loading it manually, solved the problem. I'd probably clean up the .elc files and compile anew. Then restart emacs. I didn't know how to recompile the files, and what exactly do you mean by cleaning the .elc's; so I did something else. I removed the old directories of org-mode from the ELPA directory, restarted emacs and it now seems to work fine. Thanks and all the best, Dror
[O] Unable to finalize capture
It seems like after the last update I've made to org-mode the capturing of
notes does not work properly. Currently I have version 8.0.7 (20130930) from
the ELPA. Hitting C-c c (i.e. org-capture) brings the list of capture templates
and then I can choose one of them to open a buffer where I can actually entry
the note. The problem is that once I'm done, hitting C-c C-c doesn't close the
capturing buffer. The content is saved in the right place but I'm not returned
to the place where I started the capturing. In the *Messages* buffer I get the
following error: org-capture-finalize: Symbol's value as variable is void:
org-bookmark-names-plist
I don't really know where to start debugging this problem. Any ideas?
I believe the following are all the related setting that I have:
;; Capture-org
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory /notes.org))
(define-key global-map \C-cc 'org-capture)
(setq org-capture-templates
(quote ((t todo entry (file (concat org-directory /gtd.org))
* TODO %?\n%U\n%a\n :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
(n note entry (file (concat org-directory /gtd.org))
* %? :NOTE:\n%U\n%a\n :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
(j Journal entry (file+datetree (concat org-directory
/diary.org))
* %?\n%U\n :clock-in t :clock-resume t)
(v Vocabulary entry
(file+headline (concat org-directory /vocab.org)
Vocabulary)
