And I don't know anything about Ubuntu, though I used Debian thirteen years ago...... You have downloaded the tarball - good. You have unzipped it somewhere sensible - maybe in an .emacs.d directory Then you went cd org-8.0 (or whatever it is called) and did make - did that go wrong? If it did there is a chance you don't have to tools on board to build it. This command should get them for you: apt-get build-dep where is the name of your emacs package. Try make again If it runs this time then fire up emacs and add these line to your .emacs file - you will of course need to edit the path. (setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/lisp" load-path)) (setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/contrib/lisp" load-path)) Restart your emacs and you should be good to go. Good luck! Glyn
