Re: error "Capture abort: (void-function org-pop-to-buffer-same-window)"

[Jeff Horn <jrhorn424@gmail.com>]

Thanks, Dan. This fits my preferences for loading org exactly. One
small hitch, however. No errors were produced during startup, but
trying to open the agenda (C-a a) produces the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-babel-result-hide-spec)

It's probably unrelated, but since your solution is the only change
I've made I'm not sure what's triggering it.
