This is likely why you are picking up the old autoloads. Instead of = M-x cd ~/.emacs.d/org-7.8.09/ followed by C-u 0 M-x byte-recompile-directory)= do the following from your shell: > > $ cd ~/.emacs.d/org-7.8.09/ > $ make oldorg > > Back in Emacs: > > (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-7.8.09/lisp") > (require 'org-install) > Then immediately do a > > M-x org-version > > If you don't get a string similar to mine below, you still have conflicting versions of Org Mode. In particular you are looking for the part after the ' ' sign to point to an org-install.el that matches your ~/.emacs.d/org- 7.8.09/lisp directory location. Without it, Emacs and Org will be hopelessly confused. > > > =Org-mode version 7.8.09 (release_7.8.09-335-geabf89 /Users/mlm/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/lisp/org-install.el)= > > Mike > > > > Hi Mike, Thanks for your comments. Combining what you wrote with what Achim wrote I was able to get my upgraded installation (org-7.8.90) to work as it once did in org-6.36 (at least so far). I am unable to generate something similar to what you wrote that appears after the sign - (you got something that included a path (~/.emacs.d/org- 7.8.09/lisp directory location)), all I get is the string org-7.8.09. Is the path stashed away in some customization variable that I can examine? If I don't have access to Make and I hand compiled the code, should I continue to expect to encounter other types of problems? At the risk of being redundant (as I separately replied to Achim) - Regarding the installation instructions: At first I started here (http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation) but since I am running on windows 7, I have no access to "Make". I want to avoid installing cywin as it typically fails to track windows 7 x64. As far as I can tell, make is unnecessary as well since you can hand compile all the files (as I described in my bug report). It's my mistake that I failed to notice the requirement to add (require 'org-install). Here's a suggestion that might help others who encounter similar problems: Augment the installation description (http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation) with a short description for windows users (that avoids the use of make).
