The org sexp handler issues this message whenever an error is signalled
when trying to evaluate the sexp.
In this case (as in most of these cases), the error is probably because
org-contacts-anniversaries is not defined, for whatever reason.
Try to eval
(org-contacts-anniversaries)
manually - what do you get? I get
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-contacts-anniversaries)
| (org-contacts-anniversaries)
| eval((org-contacts-anniversaries) nil)
| eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
| eval-last-sexp(nil)
| call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
`----
Then load org-contacts with
(require 'org-contacts)
or similar, and try the eval again. I get nil as a result, but more
importantly, no error. Assuming that you get no error either, try the
agenda again.
