Restarting Emacs got by the "Cannot open load file: ob.el" error. I haven't been able to reproduce this error when I reload or refresh Org. Also, I haven't seen any references to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/... since I had the error loading ob.el. I read through the FAQ and discovered that one of the starter-kits (the Worg page just refers to "starter-kit," as if it were a singleton) can lead to a situation where Org packaged with Emacs is loaded first, leading to a "frankenstein" Org. The solution noted there, to call (package-initialize) early on, appears to have been adopted in Eric Schulte's starter-kit for Emacs 24, which I use, and which AFAICT calls this function early in the process. Perhaps updating through elpa breaks a load-path link established by the starter-kit for the old Org installation, due to the name change in the elpa Org package date stamp? Later, I removed the Org package and reinstalled it, using the package manager. The process worked fine, but I still have Org 7.8.11. Perhaps I should wait patiently for 7.9 to propagate to elpa? Not a problem on a beautiful beach day :) All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
