That's right. Emacs 23 does not contain completion-at-point-functions.
Is it possible that all you guys are using Emacs 24? 

I have copied the definition of this variable from the trunk version of
minibuffer.el into my .emacs file. Now the error message doesn't occur
any longer. Anyway completion does not work. Also the other Gnus-related
features of org-contacts don't work (for example ";" in the Summary
Buffer). 

Can I conclude that org-contacts.el is for Emacs 24 only? That would be
a pity (and is not mentioned anywhere). 

Greetings,

Sven
