Symbol's function definition is void: org-export-dispatch

Symbol's function definition is void: org-export-dispatch

Running org-mode 8.0.6 on Windows I get the above error message when
executing C-c C-e. I have experienced this both getting org-mode from git
and from the July 15 elpa install. Still, I see nothing on this list so I
assume I am doing something wrong. Currently I'm on this release

Org-mode version 8.0.6 (release_8.0.6-339-g0b770b-git @
d:/i826690/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20130715/)

When I hit C-h b in an org file bufer to list keyboard shortcuts I see that
the other org definitions are linked to descriptions, but
org-export-dispatch is not.

I use a setup based on the the emacs starter kit, so org files get loaded
early in the startup sequence. It makes it difficult to debug and I wonder
if the install is failing somehow.

Would be grateful for any help,

Tom Slee

Hello,

For the first time I've tried to export into a .tex file an draft .org.

But C-c C-e  produces an error message in my emacs :

symbol's function definition is void: org-export-dispatch

I've tried to read the manual, read the discussion about this point via
google, and I am lost.

Can I find some help? I am a beginner...

Thanks

Jo.

org-export-dispatch is the top-level function used by the exporter in
version 8.x of org-mode: it does not exist in earlier versions. It
should just work if you have installed org-mode correctly, so the fact
that it doesn't indicates that there is probably an installation
problem. So the main questions are:

o What version of emacs are you running and what version of org-mode?

  M-x emacs-version 

and

  M-x org-version

will tell you that.

o The source of your org-mode installation: are you using the org-mode
that came with your emacs, or did you download a different version? If
the latter, did you use a tarball, did you clone the git repo, did you
download from ELPA, or perhaps something else?

Answers to these questions should help to determine your next course of
action.

Thanks Nick. You reply helps.
I'm using the org-mode development version and emacs-24 in Ubuntu.
I am not with my computer at the moment, but I will check my installation
tonight, and I will tell you if it works after a clean install.

Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Jo.
