Thanks!

Unfortunately, something seems very screwed up on my system. I installed OS X emacs 24.3.1, which included org-mode 7-something.

Last November, I installed org-mode 8-something via git.

Earlier this month, I updated to org-mode 8.2.5a via the emacs package installer.

Somehow, in the course of this, I must have left remnants lying around which are incorrect. Now org-version tells me it's 8.2.5a. However, the variable org-latex-classes is not defined, so my .emacs file is failing. I'm trying to set this variable in order to use the org-article class, as described here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/article-class.html

(Earlier today, I explicitly renamed the original org-mode 7 directory that came with emacs so it would no longer be on the search path. I then explicitly added the org-mode 8.2.5a directory to the search path. I guess emacs package management still leaves of lot of manual cleaning up to do.)

I'm open to any and all suggestions on how to clean this up.

Thanks!
