"Org version mismatch." when building emacs

"Org version mismatch." when building emacs

[l@tlo]

I just pulled the code in master, did ./autogen.sh and ./configure to be on the safe side and "make" gives me this:

org/ox-texinfo.el:33:2: Error: Org version mismatch.  Make sure that correct ‘load-path’ is set early in init.el
make[3]: *** [org/ox-texinfo.elc] Error 1
make[2]: *** [main-first] Error 2
make[1]: *** [lisp] Error 2

I read the explanations given with the error message:

??? I don't use org-babel, I don't load Emacs with a literate Org config file.

I only use the built-in version or Org, and I'm not sure why that matters since I'm trying to build from the source code.

Any idea what is happening here?

Did you read the thread under "Org mode update breaking build?" (last
two days)?

Delete all the *.elc files in lisp/org/ and try again.

You have stale *.elc files in the tree which still have the old
expansion of the macros that were recently changed.

It looks like it works.

Is there a reason not to indicate that as a possible fix for the issue?

Why doesn't the build process get rid of such files?

Yes, because we fixed that in a different way.  It should not happen
again on the master branch.

Because Make is not aware of Lisp macros and their expansions, and we
don't know how to teach it about them.

Thank you very much Eli.
