I have a 'closed' thread going on here in regards to mobileorg-android: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/issues/264 I have been told to use the latest org-mode which is apparently 7.8.3? But if I follow the instructions: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#How do I keep current with bleeding edge development? M-x org-version Org-mode version 6.33x (release_7.8.11.409.ga3778) Am I missing something with the installation or repository? Thanks, 'Mash

Rest assured, you > have the latest Org. OK thanks for the confirmation. I thought I was going a bit mad, especially after a google brought up this... "I am using the latest cvs version of emacs and recently-updated version 7.8.3 of org-mode." http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-01/msg00149.html
Hi, I'm relatively new to org-mode and a non-techie but grappling by and large with the steep learning curve and enjoying it! I had a simple question that I haven't been able to get an easy answer to. I've just compiled the latest build of emacs 24.1 from the gnu.org website which currently has the latest build of org-mode (7.8.11 I believe). I've also cloned the bleeding edge git repository onto my PC (as I'm interested in getting the benefit of recent patches for exporting to Taskjuggler 3) and did a make into my ~/elisp directory. My question: how do I validate that I have the latest build version of org-mode running as when I do a 'M-x org-version' I just get the answer '7.8.11'. I've put a line in my .emacs file to add my ~/elisp directory to my load path however it's not clear how I get emacs to load the newer files I've compiled to my ~/elisp directory over the existing emacs 24.1 build. I've gone through the FAQ section on the org-mode website and couldn't seem to find any hints for my issue. Ciaran
Hey Ciaran, as far as I remember you need to call (require 'org-install) to make emacs load your installation instead of the default one. Add it to your emacs config and check out org-version again Also you might be interesting to use the emacs-package manager which is a rather new feature of emacs. Org-mode versions there might be a good compromise between stability and up-to-dateness.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2044 bytes --] I asked a similar question earlier. I did though have to point to the lisp dir of org-mode git clone specifically and add the "org-install" line as mentioned. If you look at my question a few days ago there is no 7.8.3.

Why does it mention both 6.33 and 7.8.11? Is the installation mixed
with the bundled version? If that is the case, it needs to be fixed or
the OP will have loads of problems in the future.

My guess is that OP's ~/.emacs.el loads Org *before* it adds the directory with the git distribution to the load-path. So org-version is first set to 6.33, but M-x org-version RET reports the version from the git repo. > Is the installation mixed with the bundled version?
