Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I test evaluated my .emacs (Yes, it needs some cleaning up and that is one of my projects). Deleted my org-contacts.el and re-cloned it via git. I made sure the directoy for it is added to the load-path and placed the following in my .emacs (require 'org-contacts) I have attatched a backtrace of the error to this message but it seems to revolve around: (org-property-set-functions-alist ("BIRTHDAY" . org-completing-read-date)) not working correctly. This error won't let me load the .emacs file and thus I can't use the org-contacts functionality. Hopefully, I am just missing something obvious and this will be an easy fix.
