There might be nothing in there that your setup depends on, but I wouldn't want to risk it. you can glance through the files in there and see what kinds of things they touch. However, if you want to try without it, you can rename it. If that causes errors, you can rename it, then create an empty directory in the same place /etc/emacs/site-start.d. If that's where the problem is, the principal of dissection should work there as well, just move the files out of the directory one at a time (tryiing your export with emacs -Q each time, to see where the offending file is.

When pressing C-c C-e, a // export to ascii
I get the following error:

Any idea how to fix this?

But the question is: why are you getting this error? The file should be loaded on demand. Are you using the upstream org-mode or the one that comes with your emacs? In particular, what version?[1] And how do you load org-mode from your .emacs (including any settings of load-path)? Also, can you do C-h f org-export-as-ascii <RET> and include the output in your reply? Thanks, Nick [1] C-u M-x org-version <RET> will insert the version string into the buffer, so you can easily annotate any email you send with the version. It is *always* a good idea to include the org-version with any questions/problems you send to the list, as well as the corresponding emacs version: C-u M-x emacs-version <RET>. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Pay careful attention to the possibility of old parts of org-mode somewhere in your emacs load-path, and by all means make sure your new full org is at the very front of your load path. Follow the install instructions (again) strictly, and (until you get it working) check your .emacs for anything that might change the default settings of org. Comment out any parts of your .emacs that have any potential for changing org-related things. Try the new install with 'emacs -Q' (no config file), invoking org mode on a buffer with M-x org-mode. Then export. I suspect that there is some hidden problem with your configuration. The good thing about this is that you can probably take the drastic route of building it up again from the ground. It's quick, and could work. Scot ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
