[Giovanni Ridolfi]

Hi, All, hi, Alberto, 

(sorry for messing up the thread :-(

I suspect that you may have an older version of Org-mode,
[unfortunately I haven't my GNU/Linux Debian box in hand]

could you please post

a) the version information of Emacs (C-h v emacs-version <RET>) 
and
b) Org-mode version (C-h v org-version <RET>) ?

TIA,

Giovanni

Hi,

Please, accept i come in your exchange to tell :

I have exactly the same problem. My version of Org-mode was 4.43.
I replaced it by 4.56 and the bug is still present.

I guess my emacs-version or my gnus-version is responsible :

Gnus v5.11
Emacs 22.0.51.1 (Emacs-multi-tty).

Hoping this may help to understand from where can come this bug...

Same problem with emacs-snapshot (Emacs 22.0.91.1)...

For some reasons i have to keep emacs21 on my system too. Maybe this
can disturb...

I have the same problem.

Message of error :

Thanks for your good job. I appreciate this emacs mode very usefull with
my little head.

Re: Re: storing link doesn't work from Gnus

[Carsten Dominik]

Could someone make a backtrace of this error, with loading uncompiled 
versions of gnus-sum.el and org.el?  The org-mode manual describes how 
to do this, basically


emacs -l /path/to/org.el -l /path/to/gnus-sum.el


Use the menu "Options" to turn on debug-on-error.

Then hit the bug and post the backtrace buffer popping up.

Thanks.

I hope I can clearly explain my conclusions : 

If I put org.el in my local emacs site, all is fine.
If I compile org.el with my emacs and put org.elc in my emacs site, all
is fine too.

If I do "make install" in folder org-4.56 (normal installation), I have
the bug.

I think it is the script "Makefile" that is wrong ?

I am happy to help you.

That may be so.  This probably means that Emacs is not looking for 
org.el and org.elc in the location where you the Makefile installs 
them.

You should have edited the Makefile to make sure that the files are 
installed into the correct location.  Specifically, lispdir should 
point to the
same file where you do install the files when you do it by hand.  Is 
that so?

Yes, it is.

My two compiled files (by make install and by my emacs) are different.

my emacs  (function emacs-lisp-byte-compile) 
-rw-r--r--  1 momo momo    572679 2006-11-27 12:58 org.elc

make install  or 
in console  : emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile org.el
-rw-r--r--  1 momo momo    572451 2006-11-27 13:00 org.elc

I have no more knowledge to go further. Sorry to report just these
observations.

OK, this was finally enough information to find the problem.
For those who are interested, gnus-summary-article-header is a macro,
and obviously the byte compiler does something wrong when it does not
know something is a macro.

This problem will be fixed in 4.57, thanks to all who kept insisting
that there was a problem.

Ok. The problem for me were in the path : the files org.el,
org-install.el, org-mouse.el and org-publish were still in the path
for emacs 22.0.51 and not in the new path for emacs 22.0.91.

However emacs 22.0.51 is no more present neither on my system, nor
in the load-path.

I copied the org-*.el in /usr/share/emacs/22.0.91/lisp/texmodes/ and
now 'C-c l' works fine.

Why is /usr/share/emacs/22.0.51/lisp/texmodes/ still present on my
machine ? I don't know. However i removed this version before loading
emacs-snapshot (22.0.91). Curious.

But now all works fine for me.

Thanks.

Because the Makefile that comes with org-mode does create the
directory where it is supposed to put those files, and obviously
you have given this specific path in the header of the Makefile.

For the ease of maintenance it may be better to install org-mode
into a directory that does not depend on the specific version of Emacs
you are using.  This could be either a directory in your own home
directory (then you would have to add the path to the Emacs load path).
Or it could be something like /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp - you 
need
to check your system to find out where the version-independent site-lisp
directory is located.

I've been putting mine into ~/.emacs.d/org, where org is symbolic link to
~/.emacs.d/org-4.54, etc.  It has been working just fine that way, and is easy
to maintain...

Re: Re: storing link doesn't work from Gnus

[Carsten Dominik]

Lets just get this streight:  You are all talking about an error

"org-store-link: Invalid function:gnus-summary-article-header"

In  my version of gnus, this marco is defined in the file gnus-sum.el.

The only place this macro is used in org.el is in org-store-link,
and it looks like this:


      ((memq major-mode '(gnus-summary-mode gnus-article-mode))
       (require 'gnus-sum)
       (and (eq major-mode 'gnus-article-mode) 
(gnus-article-show-summary))
       (gnus-summary-beginning-of-article)
       (let* ((group (car gnus-article-current))
	     (article (cdr gnus-article-current))
	     (header (gnus-summary-article-header article))
	     (author (mail-header-from header))
	     (message-id (mail-header-id header))
	     (date (mail-header-date header))
	     (subject (gnus-summary-subject-string)))
	(setq cpltxt (concat author " on: " subject))


In the second line I am explicitly requiring gnus-sum, so the macro 
will be
available when called.  Could the people who are seeing this bug please
check if

- gnus-summary-article-header is defined in a different file

or

- if there is another file in their gnus distribution that
   does (provide 'gnus-sum)

Otherwise I am really out of ideas on this one.

- Carsten
