I'm sorry, I just don't know enough about how Emacs loads and evaluates
these forms to tell you what's going wrong. The nnir macro should
definitely be available in your setup. I don't even know why loading
that Org library would make it complain.

Hopefully someone with more experience can take it from here. Sorry!
