Unuble to install org-mode on Debian Etch for Emacs

Unuble to install org-mode on Debian Etch for Emacs

[Csányi Pál]

Hello!

I have GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) on Debian Etch
installed. I downloaded the org-5.23a.tar.gz and try to install it
following the org.pdf Manual.

When I do make I get an error message:
'
While compiling toplevel forms in file 
/home/cspal/Org-mode/org-5.23a/org-mouse.el:
  !! Wrong number of arguments (((lambda (oldfun newfun) 
     (byte-code "\302       \"\210\303      \"\207" 
     [oldfun newfun defalias make-obsolete] 3)) 3))
Done
make: *** [org-mouse.elc] Error 1
'

What is the solution for this problem?

Any advices will be appreciated!

  Not sure about the solution.  Some earlier poster have also had issues
with compiling org-mode on Emacs21[1].  If possible, upgrade (even 22.2
is out now).

I upgrade my Debian Etch system to Debian SID and get emacs22 with org-mode.

Emacs22 alone should not be the reason to move from Etch to Sid, IMHO.
 You could consider Lenny.  Some links suggest you can do it even on
Etch.
