noob-installation

[Sergio Dominguez]

Hi all, I'm new to the list and to emacs-org mode, really looking forward to geting into it, since it looks quite interesting.

However, I do not get to make it start, I have followed all the steps in the manual and keep on getting:

symbol's value as variable is void: 'org-install.

I have emacs 21.3.1 and the latest org.mode that I downloaded from the site just today.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sergio

1. Make sure you add the directory containing org to the load-path.
   For example, my org directory is "~/elisp/testing/org/", so the
   load-path is :

   (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/testing/org/")

2. Make sure Org-Mode is called when finding any .org file:

   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))

3. Then require the org-install library: 

   (require 'org-install)

Hope this helps,

Bastien,

Thanks for your reply,

I have all that.

1) org.el + org.elc are copied to 

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, which is where all the other .el files are.

2) got it
3) Got it.

yet I get an error when loading emacs.

thanks,


Sergio

I just remembered something about a TOAD!

I guess I'm out of my league here.  I would assume auto-mode-alist
should be there.  I guess I don't know where it gets defined.

This probably happens because you used copy and paste to copy
the installation code from the *pdf* file.  For some stupid reason,
the single quote in such a copy operation is not the correct ASCII
quote, but some non-ascii character.  Delete all those single quotes,
and type them in by hand.

Carsten,

Spot on. That is exactly what I did, could have never imagined it wouldn't be the right ASCII character. Now it is working.
