This string is easier than mine, isn't it?

Org mode works even if you only: 1. Make a directory: ~/org/ 2. unzip/ untar the file org-YOUR-version.zipTar 3. configure org in your .emacs: (setq load-path (cons "~/org/lisp" load-path)) 4. for info: (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/org/doc") [source: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.htm] 5. Read and follow the manual eg: add the correct line (require 'org) or (require 'org-install). I don't remeber. This will *not* byte compile your files but I use not compiled files and it's fine for me. If you want to byte compile use this brute force approach: $ emacs -e "(progn (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\") (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\" )) HTH Giovanni
