Probably, this is somehow the case... I think the directory structure that you can see is the default one of ELPA - I don't think I tweaked it. >>> and >>> >>> M-x list-load-path-shadows RET >> Returns (I hope I collected only the relevant entries): >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130930/org >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130812/org >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130923/org >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130812/org >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130923/org >> /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides >> /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org >> >> I guess that the above output suggests that org-mode is properly installed >> (via ELPA), isn't it?

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

Never used elpa, so take with appropriately sized grain of salt. 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? > >> and >> >> M-x list-load-path-shadows RET > Returns (I hope I collected only the relevant entries): > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130930/org > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130812/org > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130923/org > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130812/org > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130923/org > /Users/user_name/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org hides > /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org > > I guess that the above output suggests that org-mode is properly installed > (via ELPA), isn't it?

Then load the uncompiled version using an explicit path: M-x load-file RET /Users/user_name/.emacsd./elpa//org/lisp/org.el RET *Now* is the variable defined? If so, does capture work? I'd probably clean up the .elc files and compile anew. Then restart emacs. Nick

Try evaluating (require 'org) and seeing if the variable is now defined: C-h v org-bookmark-names-plist RET If so, the capture should work. Then you have to figure out why org.el[c] was not loaded. If the variable is not defined, check whether you have some old obsolete org.el lying around: M-x locate-library RET org RET and M-x list-load-path-shadows RET should give you some clues. -- Nick
