I'm trying to bring that one system into conformance with about 8 other systems I use org on; getting the config in my .emacs right is simple (it's already in the script that customizes my standard .emacs file for a particular system, which I check out from my Subversion repository onto each new system). It bugs me to have to hack around the standard install procedure, but I suppose that's my problem. > This will *not* byte compile your files but I use not compiled > files and it's fine for me. > > If you want to byte compile use this brute force approach: > > $ emacs -e "(progn (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\") > (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\" )) I wonder if that will work? I think the problem is that byte-compile doesn't work when there's run-time code to avoid the execution of things that don't exist in the current version, since the byte-compile has to convert everything. --=20 David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
