Do you have a ~/.emacs? One thought that occurred is making sure the "right" config is loaded, or that they are loaded in the right order. I don't understand how Emacs works on that level, but I have just always used ~/.emacs for a config. - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3349172/whats-the-startup-sequence-for-emacs > At the top of the init.el file I put the following: > > (let ((default-directory "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/")) > (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '(".")) > (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) > > > I, later, load a file containing all my org-mode configuration.

Copied and pasted from my initial response: ===== ;; create a file (say, ~/Desktop/minimal-config) with the following *single* line ;; in your case, looks like you'd do "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/" (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org.git/lisp/") >From a command line, run: $ emacs -Q Then from Emacs, run: M-x load-file [press enter] /path/to/minimal-config/from/above [press enter] Then run: M-x org-version ===== Please try that and post the result.
