Seriously? Not being bolted down to stale software is one of the main reasons why people run Arch in the first place :D. There's PKGBUILDs for both the stable [1] as well as the dev [2] version in the AUR. Using one of the "AUR Helpers" [3] (Clyde [4] is my personal favourite) makes keeping up to date only slightly more "cumbersome" than running `pacman -Syu'. Even better, while Org *can* be compiled (or rather byte-compiled), you don't *have* to: #+begin_src sh mdir -p ~/src git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git ~/src/org-mode #+end_src and stuff this in your `.emacs': #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp") (require 'org-install) #+end_src ... and an occasional `cd ~/src/org-mode ; git pull' will be all you need to stay on the cutting edge. At the pace Org is evolving, running old code will surely cause you more grief in the long run, so there's really no reason not to keep up to date. > so, no idea on why I can't call org-remember-insinuate? Sebastien covered this, but just in case, put this at the top of your `.emacs': #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq debug-on-error t) #+end_src ... which will provide you with a much more informative error message. > cheers, > renato > > Peace -- Pieter [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18206 [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25234 [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Helpers [4] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Clyde
