I do have my bad experiences with mixed installations, so the first thing I do when I install or update Emacs is to trash the Org-mode that comes with Emacs and replace it with a symlink to the git version. > The important thing is to put the path to the Org-mode you want to use > on the front of the load path (either with the command line flag above > or with an `add-to-list' in your config) *before* the first time > Org-mode is required with a (require 'org). That should be sufficient. Now I started Emacs with: $ emacs --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \"~/gitclone/org-mode/lisp/\")" and the load-path looks like this: load-path ("~/gitclone/org-mode/lisp/" "/home/tj/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.86/"...) but nevertheless, opening an .org file gives me: File mode specification error: (void-function org-define-obsolete-function-alias) So this seems to be a different problem, maybe related to this recent message from Paul Sexton: From: Paul Sexton Subject: Re: Fixes for org-capture-templates-contexts Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.orgmode To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:21:20 +0000 (UTC) (13 hours, 8 minutes ago) (...) Also, very important. I updated to master in order to make the patch and found the current orgmode does not compile or even load. This is because ob-eval.el uses 'declare-function' which is undefined (it is defined in org-macs.el but ob-eval.el does not require that file). (...) -- cheers, Thorsten
