The backtrace shows (you read it from the bottom up) that the following sequence
of calls took place:
org-mobile-push -> org-mobile-create-sumo-agenda ->
org-store-agenda-views -> org-batch-store-agenda-views ->
org-agenda(nil "X") -> org-agenda-run-series("SUMO" ...) ->
org-agenda-list -> org-get-entries-from-diary ->
diary-list-entries -> run the diary-hook ->
appt-make-list
In trying to call this last function, emacs gets an error: the function
is not defined.
Basically what happens is that org-mobile-push calculates the agenda, by
calling org-agenda-list. This function checks the value of the variable
org-agenda-include-diary, which in your case must be t, so it tries to
add agenda entries from the diary. It calls org-get-entries-from-diary
to do that, which calls diary-list-entries. This one runs the diary-hook
and somewhere in your init files you must have done something like
this:
(add-hook 'diary-hook (function appt-make-list))
When the hook is run, emacs tries to call the function, does not find it and
complains.
To fix it, change the above line to
(require 'appt)
(add-hook 'diary-hook (function appt-make-list))
The (require 'appt) makes sure that the file that defines this function is
loaded, the function is defined when emacs needs to call it and the problem
is resolved.
Strictly speaking, the function does not need to be defined that early:
it only needs to be defined before it is called, but if you are going to
call it, you might as well do it early. If that's not desirable for some
reason, you can use the autoload mechanism (see the emacs manual for
that).
Note that there are two customizations (the setting of
org-agenda-include-diary to t and the setting of diary-hook) that caused
your problem. I don't include the diary in my agenda, so I would not
have seen the problem at all. That's one of the reasons why it's
important for everybody to have the Pavlovian response:
error --> must get backtrace
It can pinpoint where *your* problem is and show the way to a solution.
HTH,
Nick
