Re: org-babel and emacs init

[Julien Fantin <julien.fantin@gmail.com>]

Still had some issues with your function Eric, but finally found the
time to make it work on my system.
Posting it here since I didn't use <reply all> the first time around,
and someone else might find it useful.

(defun my-org-babel-load-file (file)
  (let ((orig-file (expand-file-name file dotfiles-dir))
        (tmp-file (make-temp-file "my-ob-load" nil ".org")))
    (with-temp-file tmp-file
      (insert-file-contents orig-file))
    (org-babel-load-file tmp-file)))

Thanks for your help !

Cheers
