Here's a minimal test case, with the output after pressing C-c C-c: #+begin_src sh echo foo #+end_src #+RESULTS: : Error: unexpected symbol in "echo foo" In my .emacs file, I have the following: (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((emacs-lisp . t) (sh . t) (R . t))) I tried to create a stack trace for this error, but I hit a snag when I did "C-u M-x org-reload RET": "Cannot open load file: /usr/local/share/emacs/24.1/lisp/org/org-agenda.el" . I'm not sure where that's coming from, I don't have any mention of agenda stuff in my .emacs. Any pointers for the 'sh' error or for getting a stack trace?
