Hi Marcelo,

OK, we must fix this.

I created the file /home/marcelo/emacs.d/emacs.el containing

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq load-path (cons "/home/marcelo/emacs.d/org-mode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "/home/marcelo/emacs.d/org-mode/contrib/lisp/" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org-babel-init)
(require 'org-babel-python)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then I did

emacs -q -l /home/marcelo/emacs.d/emacs.el

and it starts fine. org-version is "6.31trans". Does that work for you?

I'm also on ubuntu (9.04) using emacs-snapshot package. I have org files
at

/usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/org/

they shouldn't cause problems with the set up above. You could rename
that directory if you wanted. It does look like your having problems
loading the right versions.

Hmm, should be 

Org-mode version 6.31trans (release_6.31.68.g93f3)

I believe the function org-version should give you info on the latest
git commit like it did for me. So perhaps you are getting the org files
that came with emacs and not the git release. 

I'm not on ubuntu 9.10 yet. Carsten / others -- is 6.30c what you'd get
with emacs 23 on the current ubuntu beta release, or is org frozen at
6.21 in emacs23?

Latest commit is 93f3968e3f6cb5bf29a2d089457676c5b4a7b694.

You can see the first 4 characters of the commit id in the output from
org-version above.
