I don&#39;t install it (contrib) but just have this in .emacs:<div><br></div><div>-------</div><div><div>;; set load dirs and global config options</div><div>(add-to-list &#39;load-path &quot;~/.elisp/site-lisp/&quot;)</div>
<div>(add-to-list &#39;load-path &quot;~/.elisp/org.git/contrib/lisp/&quot;)</div><div>-------</div><div><br></div><div>That way any miscellaneous .el files I want get put in ~/.elisp/site-lisp and contrib is linked to directly by my .emacs. Would this work for you or is there a certain advantage to &quot;installing&quot; to the actual tree (e.g. /usr/share/emacs...)?</div>
