I posted an email yesterday about a problem I was having writing agendas
for MobileOrg, where org-mode seemed to think it should be writing my
agendas as postscript.
I thought perhaps this was a problem with the old version of Aquamacs
that I have been using, so I finally got myself to upgrade to Aquamacs
2.0 (Emacs 23.2).
Now I get a /different/ error, but it's still an error where org-mode
seems to believe the agenda should be written as postscript. I can't
see why this should be happening. Here's the backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Autoloading failed to define

(let ((org-agenda-compact-blocks nil)) (org-write-agenda

eval((let ((org-agenda-compact-blocks nil)) (org-write-agenda
"/Volumes/rpgoldman/org/agendas.org" nil t)))
byte-code("\b\205z
As far as I can tell, org-mode should only do this if it finds \.ps or
\.pdf in the filename, but that clearly isn't the case for "agendas.org".
Any suggestions?
thanks!

I was discussing this with a colleague of mine, and he had a hypothesis
that might be correct.
The code in org-write-agenda looks like it has been rewritten to make
FLET be expanded at compile time, so it needn't be present at run-time.
However, I wonder if this was done properly, or whether the backquote
expansion is causing the /body/ of the flet to be evaluated at run-time
(instead of having it be macroexpanded once at compile time).
This would account for the symptoms I'm seeing: I tried putting a DEBUG
statement before the call to ps-print-buffer-with-faces, and that debug
statement was never executed, further, when I examine the value of the
FILE local variable in the debugger, it clearly isn't a value that would
trigger a call to ps-print-buffer-with-faces.
I believe what's wanted here is macroexpansion and not evaluation, yes?
More as I discover more,
