Org-4.67 worked with that line. I replaced '(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode)) with "(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/bill/emacs/lisp/org/")" and version 5.17a now opens. > > If not, that would explain why it is not loading up. > > For the permissions stuff, I'm guessing here, but if you untarred it as > root, root will restore the files with the original permissions, not > yours. > > Try removing /home/bill/emacs/lisp/org-5.17a, and > /home/bill/emacs/lisp/org, and running as yourself, not root. > I just did. All the permissions are now correct. I am going to have to really dig into this. It is working as a result of following "button-push" instructions (and I thank you for that), but I really don't understand what is going on. No response needed; more of a note to myself. -- Regards Bill
