Thanks for this Nick. I solved my problem by re-git-cloning the org-mode repo, but this time I called it "org-mode" instead of the previous "org-mode-master". And now M-x org-version shows - ╭──── │Org-mode version 8.2.7c (release_8.2.7c @ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/) ╰──── which is what I've been looking for all along :) Thanks Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk my git repo = https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian testing, fluxbox 1.3.5, emacs 24.3.92.1
