Re: Problems Compiling 6.02b

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

Hi Ian,

I believe this has to do with the fact that ad-to-diary-list is being  
renamed to diary-add-to-list, and some confusion with the macro  
declare function.

The bug seems to happen in the line when org-exp.el does (require 'org- 
agenda).

Things work fin on my system, I see that you also run planner, maybe  
there is an old org-agenda.elc file on the path.

Try to make sure that the directory with the lisp files from the org  
distribution is in the search path before any other directories that  
may hold old org files.

Otherwise, I have no idea since I cannot reproduce this.... :-(
