While this is one potential route (make install), I do exactly what you did, and it works fine as far as I know. I haven't seen a concrete response above as to what exactly can go wrong -- Achim hinted that it's not trivial to disable the built-in org, but said it shouldn't matter if one loads the git org early on (it's the first line in my .emacs), so I'm not sure if it matters that the built-in org sort of "lives on" beneath the surface. On that note, is there a recommended "diagnosis" route someone could recommend other than simply `M-x org-version`? Is it possible to get, e.g. 8.0.7, from that command but be pulling from mixed org locations (org shipped with Emacs, and org from tgz or git)? If so, I was unaware, so it'd be great to understand how one can do a full diagnostic. If not, great, I won't worry about it and I'll view the `make install` recommendations as more of a housekeeping suggestion vs. a functional one (risk of mixed install). Thanks, John > > > > > >
