Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Hi Max, hope you'll get this sorted out -- I'm sure Jambunathan will provide usefull directions. If you see anything that can be clearer in Worg's instructions, please let us know. Thanks! -- Bastien
Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
- The ELPA instructions are for Emacs 22, not 23 (but like I said, I believe I had it working before) http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-elpa If you are using package.el from tromey.com then you need to delete it from load-path. Previous success story is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-06/msg00374.html Jambunathan K.
Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Bastien and Jambunathan, - I am running Emacs 23.2.1 - launching Emacs from the terminal with ~$ emacs -Q made no difference (was that just to open up the Lisp interpreter?) - I just successfully upgraded to Org-Mode version 7.6 using the How do I install Org-mode from a ELPA-compatible tarball? section from http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-elpa However, I'm not sure why this should have worked, since - M-x list-packages RET displays [No match] in the bottom bar. - I also seem to have lost the ability to evaluate (C-x e returns a no kdb macro has been defined message). I'm not sure what to do with http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.elbut I assume since I'm now running Org-Mode 7.6 it is no longer necessary.

Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Thanks for sticking with me Jambunathan, C-h v package-archives RET reports no match also, though there do appear to be commands: package-archive-base, package-archive-upload-base, package-archive-version, and package-archive-contents. Also, when I run M-x package-list-packages, it connects me to the tromey.comsite and provides a list of available packages (INCLUDING ORG in red, which I assume means it is already installed.) Max... P.S. The ~/elisp file was successfully copied, and I'm no longer getting a load-path error when I start emacs, so I think that solved something. Thanks.

Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Not sure what to say Jambunathan: - I type C-h v and a blue input field (Minibuffer I assume?) appears: Describe variable: I type package-archives and hit RET, and it says [no match]. It doesn't report anything. - Where would I delete tromey.com from load-path? It isn't in my ~/.emacs file or ~/elisp - M-x locate-library RET package RET returns No library package in search path. I'll guess that that doesn't make sense to you either. Where would M-x package-list-packages be getting the list from? Max...

Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Max It looks like you are totally new to Emacs. Sorry if I sounded harsh. I will help you out privately with this. Let us take our discussions off the list. Jambunathan K.

Re: [O] org unavailable in ELPA package manager
Bastien, Thanks for the quick follow up. I'm encouraged to know that there is an active community here. I'm using Emacs 23, but I've been trying to get my org files to sync between Ubuntu (which has 'GNU Emacs 23', 'Emacs Snapshot (Client)', and 'Emacs Snapshot (GTK)'), OSX with Aquamacs, and my Android phone. I believe that I got the package manager installed on one of the linux emacs clients as I was looking through a list of packages to install, but I can't remember which one. Now M-x list-packages RET shows [No match], so I can't confirm it. I'm confused why it would have worked before and not now. A few considerations: - The ELPA instructions are for Emacs 22, not 23 (but like I said, I believe I had it working before) - I didn't change the ~/elisp/ path from the package manager installation instructions - If I skip ahead in the Worg instructions to test whether the installation was successful by locating the library, I get the following return: Library is file /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org/org.elc Anything else I might be missing?
