I've been running Org-mode 8 on my MacBook, and Org-mode 7.something on my office Mac. I've tried to upgrade the office one to 8 using the 'list-packages', and it seems to install, but org-version always shows up as 7.something afterwards. Now, completely outside emacs, I installed some software and my MacBook using MacPorts. But now somehow the org-mode on my MacBook as been downgraded to 7.9.3f and, of course, using list-packages to upgrade doesn't work. Does anyone have any clue what's going on here? I'd like to upgrade to 8.whatever on all machines. -pd -- ---- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com

Please read the Installation section of the manual carefully.
If you install from ELPA, you need to do it from a fresh Emacs
session where Org has not been loaded.
Otherwise I'd suggest installing from git directly.

I never had to install it before, since it was included with the OS X
emacs I installed. I tried the "fresh" session ("emacs -nw
--no-init-file"), but still was not able to get list-packages to update it.
The git install appears to have worked.
Thanks!
