Reinstalling compat fixed everything breaking

Reinstalling compat fixed everything breaking

[William Denton]

Yesterday I pulled the current source trees for Org and Emacs and compiled as I 
usually do ... and everything broke, with Org complaining about mixed versions, 
and all kinds of warnings and backtraces and "Invalid function: 
compat-declare-version" errors.

After looking at various things I noticed a couple of mild warnings related to 
the package compat, which I'd seen for a while (several weeks, at least) but 
never bothered about, because everything worked.  I thought maybe it was all 
connected, what with the new version-checking and such, and indeed "M-x 
package-reinstall compat" did the trick and now everything works.

In case someone else has the same problem I thought I'd mention this.

Cheers,

Bill

I am seeing the same problem. However, it did not resolve for me after upgrading
the compat library to the current git version. I am still getting:

,----
| Warning (emacs): Org version mismatch.  Make sure that correct ‘load-path’ is
| set early in init.el This warning usually appears when a built-in Org version is
| loaded prior to the more recent Org version.
`----

during "make install". I never had this problem before.

I've never done a "make install" because I run it from the source tree,¹ so 
maybe that's why my configuration works now but yours still doesn't.  I hope 
someone who knows more about all this can pitch in.

Bill

¹ Configured so:

(use-package org
     :pin manual
     :load-path "/usr/local/src/org-mode/lisp"
     :init
     ;; Lots of stuff here
)

Should be fixed on latest main.
