Yes, that is not the problem. The advice is already activated in the
definition itself (see the "activate" parameter).

The problem is that the functions capture-finalize and capture-destroy
do not exist. I imagine the original code was designed for remember mode
(which does have the functions remember-destroy and remember-finalize).
The relevant function in org-capture.el, I believe, is
org-capture-finalize. I think the following defadvice should work:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defadvice org-capture-finalize (after delete-capture-frame activate)
"Advise capture-finalize to close the frame if it is the capture frame"
(if (equal "capture" (frame-parameter nil 'name))
(delete-frame)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
