Company not working in emacs-lisp-mode

[Thorsten Jolitz <tjolitz@gmail.com>]

Hi List, 

although company-elisp is part of my company backends

,----[ C-h v company-backends RET ]
| company-backends is a variable defined in `company.el'.  Value:
| (company-cider company-elisp company-bbdb company-nxml company-css
| company-eclim company-semantic company-clang company-xcode
| company-cmake (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags company-etags
| company-keywords) company-oddmuse company-files company-dabbrev
| company-ispell)
| 
| Original value was (company-elisp company-bbdb company-nxml
| company-css company-eclim company-semantic company-clang company-xcode
| company-ropemacs company-cmake (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags
| company-etags company-keywords) company-oddmuse company-files
| company-dabbrev)
`----

it does not work for me, although it worked out of the box in other
modes. 'does not work' means nothing happens, as if company is not
activated, but is is shown in the mode line. 

The only error messages I get are a bit strange too.

My emacs version:

,----
| GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2)
|  of 2014-06-11 on var-lib-archbuild-staging-x86_64-jgc
`----

causes capf not to be included (officially):

,----
| (defvar company--include-capf (version< "24.3.50" emacs-version))
| (defcustom company-backends `(,@(unless company--include-capf ...)))
`----

however, I frequently see messages like

,----
| Company: An error occurred in auto-begin
| Symbol's function definition is void: company-capf
`----

in the message-buffer.
