I'm sure this is an FAQ, but I haven't been able to find it.
The Org-mode manual says under "Installation", "*If you are using a version
of Org that is part of the Emacs distribution or an XEmacs package, please
skip this section and go directly to
Activation<http://orgmode.org/manual/Activation.html#Activation>
."* The problem is that the distribution version I have, bundled in with
the emacs package supplied by openSUSE, is more than a major revision out
of date, at least with regard to org-mode. So the question is, what's the
proper way to upgrade it without breaking anything by accident?
Let's assume I have root access to the computer. Is it as simple as
downloading the current org-mode source, running make and all that, and
then replacing the existing .elc files in /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org
with the new ones?

Never touch these files, they belong to Emacs. You need to install into
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp or, if you want to do really fancy things
with multiple Emacs versions, /usr/share/emacs/23.2/site-lisp. So pull
current master from Git and do:
make up2
This assumes sudo will be able to obtain administrative rights. Make in
master is already set up to place orgmode into the right spot.

Achim.

Many thanks. I was afraid of something like that. So the idea is that a set
or org-mode files under site-lisp takes precedence over the built-in files
and that's how emacs knows which ones to run?

Emacs will always load the file(s) it finds first in load-path, so you
can do anything by setting it up accordingly. By default load-path is
set up so that things in site-lisp are seen before
<emacs-version>/site-lisp before <emacs-version>/lisp. So if you keep
that structure (and Linux distributions generally do), it becomes easy
to keep updated packages there.
BTW, after you've done this, you will need a (require 'org-install) in
your emacs startup files. With the Emacs builtin org it's not strictly
necessary (but harmless if present).
Regards,
Achim.

Hi all,
I have emacs crashing since several versions.
Being in org-mode I have a long line like this (following 3 lines concatenated)
#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 0 :fileskip0 t :scope ("~/org/DIPLAN/DIPLAN.org" "~/org/DIPLAN/DIPLAN.org_archive" "~/org/DIPLAN/Seuffer.org"
"~/org/DIPLAN/ebm-papst.org" "~/org/DIPLAN/PREH.org" "~/org/DIPLAN/PADUA/PADUA.org" "~/org/DIPLAN/PADUA/Lastenheft.org"
"~/org/DIPLAN/PADUA/Pflichtenheft.org" "~/org/DIPLAN/PADUA/Zeitaufschreibung.org") :block 2012-04
Point is at the beginning of the line. If I press C-e Emacs crashes reproducably.
My major mode is "Org", version "Org-mode version 7.8.10 (release_7.8.10-598-g747d71"
Enabled minor modes: Abbrev Auto-Composition Auto-Compression Auto-Encryption
Blink-Cursor Delete-Selection Display-Time File-Name-Shadow Font-Lock
Global-Font-Lock Icicle Iswitchb Line-Number Minibuffer-Depth-Indicate
Mouse-Wheel Recentf Shell-Dirtrack Show-Paren Transient-Mark
When I switch to "text-mode" the crashes do not appear anymore!
How can I track down the reason for the crashes?
Cheers,
Rainer

I can't test with your version of Emacs.

There is a missing #+END.
Do you still have the crash with #+END? Can
you send the complete .org file to test?
> How can I track down the reason for the crashes?
C-h f org-end-of-line RET C-x o TAB RET M-x edebug-defun RET
then C-e in your file again to see if you can find the problem
with org-end-of-line.

Is there a core dump? If so, try running gdb like so:
,----
| $ gdb /path/to/emacs /path/to/core
| ...
| (gdb) bt
`----
to get a backtrace. There is some information about what to do
in the emacs manual:
(info "(emacs) Checklist")
