Hmmm. It seems I had this same problem last October, and manually loading ox-org solved it, as it does now. That was suggested by
Aaron Ecay.

Then, as suggested by Nicolas, I added (require 'ox-org) to my .emacs. I guess that worked for the time being. I haven't changed
much in my startup file since then, and almost everything following that is commented out. I did, however, try to add startup
commands for hyperbole, but I never got that working. Perhaps that broke things somehow.

Thanks again!
