org-version reported as 6.33x after upgrading to the "latest and greatest" with Emacs' Package Manager

[Angel de Vicente]

Hi,

I'm running Emacs 23.2.1 (bundled with Ubuntu 11.04), and until now I
was running the org-mode package that came with it (6.33x). Today I
decided to update to the latest org version, and I followed the
instructions at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#installing-via-elpa

When I do M-x locate-library RET org I get:
Library is file ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20120129/org.elc

which looks good, but if I do M-x org-version I get:
Org-mode version 6.33x

In my .emacs file I have 
;; Org-mode
;;********************************************
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(define-key global-map "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq org-log-done t)

and at the end of the file

(setq load-path (cons "~/Emacs-custom" load-path))
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

Did I miss something else that I should do? I was planning on getting
rid of the version that comes with Emacs, but I thought I should ask
first...

Thanks,

1. Did you restart Emacs?
2. If you remove (require 'org-install) does it help?
3. Emacs-24.1 (currently in pre-test) has the latest and greatest Org.

but for the moment I would prefer not to upgrade Emacs.

Any idea on how to test if org is getting confused with 6.33 beyond
reporting that as its version?

In your .emacs file, *just before* package-initialize add this and
restart Emacs.

(when (featurep 'org)
  (error "Some mysterious force has already loaded org. Investigate why
  this is so."))

In the above operation, if you see that some mysterious force is indeed
operating, demystify the force by adding the following line to the *top*
of your .emacs and restart emacs.

(setq debug-on-error t)
(eval-after-load 'org '(error "Some mysterious force is loading Org"))

Note that Org could be loaded automatically from system path, if
somewhere in the init sequence an Org file is visited (are you using
desktop save or session save related libraries?) or you have some custom
org related code.

It is possible that backtrace may give you an hint on what possibly
could be happening in your load sequence.

In my .emacs file I have 
;; Org-mode
;;********************************************
(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(define-key global-map "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq org-log-done t)

and at the end of the file

(setq load-path (cons "~/Emacs-custom" load-path))
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)

Yes, there were mysterious forces... :-)

As I recall it I had two problems in my .emacs file:

1) a line:

(find-file "~/org/MAIN.org")

2) and 
;; Remember-Mode
(org-remember-insinuate)
(setq org-directory "/home/angelv/org/")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cr" 'org-remember)

Those were forcing the bundled org version to load.

Issue solved by:

* Moving line in 1) right after the (package-initialize) right at the
bottom of my .emacs

* Getting rid of lines in 2) and substituting them by:
(setq org-directory "/home/angelv/org/")
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "notes.org"))
(define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)

* Putting out of the way the directory where the bundled ORG was
  (probably not needed, but for extra peace of mind)


BUT, I still could not capture anything with C-cc, and I got an error
about org-called-interactively-p not being valid/defined.. (don't
remember now). It looks like the new org was byte-compiled when the old
org was active and there were some issues in there. Deleting all the
.elc files, making sure that only the new org was active and then
byte-compiling the .el files again did the trick.

Cheers,

Try going to the *scratch* buffer, doing an M-x load-library org and
evaluating the value of the sexp "org-version" (using C-j with the cursor
placed immediately after it).
Does that give you a different result, or is it still 6.33x?

If you get the newer org installed and running,  I don't see a reason to
manually "remove" the one that comes with Emacs, unless you've got space
issues.

If there is a mysterious force loading Org from the *system path* *and*
if you *don't* have Org checked out in one of your local directories ,
then you can as well move the above three lines to the top of your
.emacs. This way your elpa path will override system location.
