Problems Compiling 6.02b

Problems Compiling 6.02b

[Ian Barton]

This is strange. I have various computers running Ubuntu Hardy and 6.02b 
has installed fine on all of them except one. I get the following error 
when compiling:

Loading 00debian-vars...
No /etc/mailname. Reverting to default...

As far as I can tell I have the same packages installed on each computer 
and the relevant section of the Makefile is:

# Where local software is found
prefix=~/emacs

# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/org

Still not got to the bottom of this and there are now 2 computers where
this happens:

Checked that I have the same emacs packages installed on all computers.
Copied .emacs to all computers, so it's the same everywhere.
Done several make cleans.
Happens with the most recent git checkout.

Version of emacs is the same on all computers:

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2008-05-02 on king, modified by Ubuntu

As a bodge around copying compiled versions of org to the computers
where compiling fails seems to let org work with no problems.

Hi Ian,

I believe this has to do with the fact that ad-to-diary-list is being  
renamed to diary-add-to-list, and some confusion with the macro  
declare function.

The bug seems to happen in the line when org-exp.el does (require 'org- 
agenda).

Things work fin on my system, I see that you also run planner, maybe  
there is an old org-agenda.elc file on the path.

Try to make sure that the directory with the lisp files from the org  
distribution is in the search path before any other directories that  
may hold old org files.

Otherwise, I have no idea since I cannot reproduce this.... :-(

Re: Problems Compiling 6.02b

Thanks Carsten,

I only have one version of org-agenda.elc on the computer. I don't 
actually use Planner, but had the package installed from a long time ago 
when I was trying it out.

Removing the Planner package fixes the error, so problem solved!
