A copy of your entire configuration regarding org-mode. 3. A back-trace of the error. This you can produce in the following way: - start a fresh xemacs and make sure that you load noutline.el and org.el instead of the byte-compiled .elc versions. For example, I do this with xemacs -l /path/to/noutline.el -l /path/to/org.el - go to the menu Options->Troubleshooting and select "Debug on Error" there. 4. Go ahead and do whatever you have to do to hit the bug, like loading an org-mode file. 5. When the error is hit, xemacs will pop up a "*Backtrace*" buffer. We need to see the full content of this buffer. As this buffer may contain very long lines, it is better to send it as an attachment than to copy it into the email. With this information I often can find the bug already, or at least know what else to ask from you. - Carsten On Nov 6, 2006, at 2:39, York Block wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to get orgmode working under XEmacs 21.4 (patch 18) > without any > luck.
