Hi,

I downloaded and successfully installed the latest version org-mode (M-x org-version shows 7.7). I was hoping to get org-contacts with it, too, but when putting (require 'org-contacs) in .emacs, I obtain:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/mhofert/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, org-contacts

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

Org-contacts is one of the contributions and can be found in org-7.7/contrib.
How can I install this org-mode contribution (on Mac OS X 10.7.2 with GNU Emacs 23.3 (9.0))?

I installed the latest org-mode version by setting (in ./Makefile):

 EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS//emacs
 lispdir=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/
 infodir=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info

I checked the contribution README, but that didn't tell  me how to install org-mode ocntributions.


Cheers,

Marius

Marius,

Do you do what the fine manual suggests?:

If you plan to use code from the contrib subdirectory, do a similar
step for this directory:

     (setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/orgdir/contrib/lisp" load-path))

http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation

Best,

Brian vdB

Dear Brian,

thanks a lot. It's working now.

I followed the instructions, but (erroneously) thought that the copying to some folder and using load-path is not required. 

Cheers,

Marius
