Hi, I downloaded and successfully installed the latest version org-mode (M-x org-version shows 7.7). I was hoping to get org-contacts with it, too, but when putting (require 'org-contacs) in .emacs, I obtain: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/mhofert/.emacs': File error: Cannot open load file, org-contacts To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace. Org-contacts is one of the contributions and can be found in org-7.7/contrib. How can I install this org-mode contribution (on Mac OS X 10.7.2 with GNU Emacs 23.3 (9.0))? I installed the latest org-mode version by setting (in ./Makefile): EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS//emacs lispdir=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/ infodir=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info I checked the contribution README, but that didn't tell me how to install org-mode ocntributions. Cheers, Marius

Dear Brian,
thanks a lot. It's working now.
I followed the instructions, but (erroneously) thought that the copying to some folder and using load-path is not required.
Cheers,
Marius
