void-function error

void-function error

[Mehmet Atif Ergun]

Hi,

On opening emacs to take a look at my agenda, emacs opens with the
following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function ignore-errors)
  (ignore-errors (org-entry-get nil "ORDERED"))

No other problem but this error message... And everything seems to
work fine regardless of this message.
How can I find out what is causing this error on each startup?

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with emacs 22.2.1. On Arch Linux (with emacs
23.2.1), I did not have this problem.

I believe (but I'm not sure) the error appeared after I set
org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done and
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Mehmet Ergun.

Surely, Ubuntu 10.10 comes with a more recent version of emacs?

HTH,

which Org mode version are you using?

M-x org-version RET

I can't find the expression (ignore-errors (org-entry-get nil
"ORDERED")) anywhere in a current Org mode version so I suspect you
use an older one.

The problem is that your Org mode version uses the function
`ignore-errors' which is for some reason not available at run-time.
In Emacs22 this func def is part of the cl package, so it might help
to add a

(require 'cl-macs)

To your init-file so the function is loaded properly.
