If anyone is using Org-mode with Gnu Emacs on Win XP, then I would be grateful
for their comments.
Have just updated to Org version 6.36c. While Org appears to work normally,
and version 6.36c is reported evaluating org-version And the recent
Footnotes sorting feature works. But I fear the update or installation is
somehow not proper.
My only suspicions for this are; that publishing to HTML seems problematic,
and that there are no .elc files appearing where the org.el files are
located.
To install, I downloaded the 6.36c zip, and copied all and only the
/lisp/*.el files into the folder ~/Emacs/Lisp/org.
I notice that in .emacs the entry
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/emacs/lisp/org")
or as I first had it,
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/emacs/org-6.36c")
neither have any effect. It seems Emacs will find Org in ~/emacs/lisp/org no
matter what. Only (require 'org) is present in my .emacs and then
some Org settings.
Any comments appreciated.

Hi,
I'm not on Win XP, but just wanted to ask for clarification as it might help
others help you...

Can you define what ~ stands for above? For example:
- Linux typically = /home/username/
- Mac typically = /Users/username/
- Win = ???
--- Doing a 'dir ~' from the prompt yielded 'Volume in drive C has no label'
or cd ~ yields 'The system cannot find the path specified'

This might be extremely minute, but the GNU Emacs FAQ includes a trailing
slash in the instructions on how to add directories to one's load path via
.emacs [1]:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/dir/subdir/")
Not sure if that will help you at all. Primarily I'd focus on making sure
../emacs/org[-6.36c] is where you think it is? Not to come across as
insulting... just never hurts to be sure!

I copied all the contents of the archive org-6.36c/lisp/ directory, into
C:/emacs/lisp/org/

Above is inaccurate, the .emacs load-path directories DO have the
trailing slash.

Thanks , will re-read the FAQ. Although it doesn't seem to refer to
installing or updating packages with Emacs, Like Org or Remember etc.
As I say, Emacs seems to find the Org 6.35c components in
C:/emacs/lisp/org/ It hasn't however ever generated .elc files
from them - and I think that may be wrong, but don't know.

Hi Adam,
At work I run org-mode from a git repository on Windows XP. I never
compile my org-mode files anymore.
My git repository lives in ~/git/org-mode/ with the .el files in
~/git/org-mode/lisp
I have the following setup in my ~/.emacs
,----[ .emacs ]
| (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/git/org-mode/lisp"))
| (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
| (require 'org-install)
`----
Make sure your org-mode files are found first in your load-path so that
you load the version you want and not some other version provided by
Emacs. Your load-path should point to the directory your .el files are
in.
I would just unzip the entire 6.36c zip file without moving anything
from their default locations and point your load-path at the lisp
subdirectory.
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1
Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.630.gbca27)
HTH,
Bernt
