how to upgrade org-mode version?

how to upgrade org-mode version?

[Kristofer Bergstrom]

I would like to upgrade my version of org-mode (I'm using Emacs23),
with the hopes it will solve a problem of the :tags option not being
evaluated in clocktable dynamic blocks.  According to "M-x
org-version", I am currently using 6.21b.  Matt pointed me to
http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.tar.gz .

Is there information available about how to upgrade, or install
multiple versions of org-mode?  The "Installation" instructions in the
org-mode manual refer to Emacs22 or to enabling the pre-installed
Emacs23 version.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

just download the new version and unpack it in some directory then add
that directory to your load path.

See:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation

And if you're not installing globally with 'make install' (I don't)
make sure that the org manual gets read by adding /path/to/org/doc to

 'Info-default-directory-list
like so:

  (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")

Kris,

You may have discovered this in the meantime, but I gave you the wrong line
for adding the org documentation to your info-path in emacs (so that M-x
org-info gets you to the latest docs).  It's not

 (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")

but:

 (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/path/to/org/doc")

I don't know how long this has been broken in my own setup, but I just
noticed it and thought I'd correct my advice to you.  If you actually
install org mode to a place that the info commands can find (/usr/local
perhaps) you don't need this.  But I just put the org repository right in my
~/.emacs.d/vendor/ directory, compile it in place, and leave it there.  As
long as I add the right paths to the org-mode/lisp and org-mode/doc,
everything works.

If you use stuff from the org contrib directory, you can also do:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/you/newpath/org-mode/contrib/lisp")

The first version works if you restart emacs.  Info-directory-list is
set by Info-default-directory-list once at startup.

  Unless the environment variable INFOPATH is already set, in which
  case its value is used to set Info-directory-list (and the value of
  Info-default-directory-list is simply ignored).

  In my case, following the documentation on Info-directory-list, I
  changed the INFOPATH variable in my .profile file (I use bash).

Thanks for the follow-up, I corrected my config.

When I ran "M-x org-info" I saw the message "Info-find-file: Info file
org does not exist".  Running "make info" to produce the org info file
resolved this.
