It installed it into ~/.emacs.d/elpa as you would expect. Now, I'm trying to initialize Org and make proper use of it, but it appears that the new Org package is not initializing right and, instead, I am picking up the one that came with Emacs 24.3 as describe-variable on org-version reports 7.9.3f. Yet, I see the new Org's directory on the load-path, so something ran. Can someone explain the package loading process? In particular, I get the sense that the new package is added to the load-path *after* my .emacs is loaded. If that is true, what is the proper way to make use of the new package as adding (require 'org) to my .emacs will pick up the original Org and not the installed package? Should I physically delete the original Org module that came with Emacs? -- David Masterson
