Hi

For those few who are not yet very emacs savvy -- in follow up to the
original post:

on my windows xp (work machine)GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (included is 5.23 org
mode)

1. I downloaded and unzipped org-6.06a to

"c:/Documents and Settings/csnyder/Desktop/Archive/orgmode/org-6.06a/"

2. I then added to the top of my .emacs file (I assume this is how you "make
sure that Emacs looks at the new directory before checking its own
directories"?:

(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Documents and
Settings/csnyder/Desktop/Archive/orgmode/org-6.06a/");; latest orgmode

...I still get the old 5.23 version of orgmode, but no error messages...

Sorry to be so basic, but I like the org mode and would like be able to
update
when new features are added!

Thanks

CLS

The load path needs to point to the "lisp/" sub directory.

Upgrading org-mode (in W32)

[Bill Raynor]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 508 bytes --]

Hello,
I just upgraded my emacs to the current W32 version (GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1)
which includes org-mode 6.05a. How do I upgrade org-mode when it is in the
...\emacs\lisp directory? In the past I have just created a new directory in
site-lisp and rewrote my .emacs file to point to the new one. Do I just
unpack in the existing directory and restart, or is there some other magic?

I'm on windows XP on a corporate machine, so incantations like "make
install" at the command line don't usually work.

Thanks

I got the new version of W32 emacs from
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html and the new version of org-mode
from http://orgmode.org. The new version of emacs has a problem with
alt-tab, but I haven't rebooted yet to see if that goes away. (the cure for
many strange windows problems!)

I would not recommend overwriting org in the default directories.  I  
would alway just run it from the distribution directory.  All you need  
to do then is to add the path to this directory, and to make sure that  
Emacs looks at the new directory before checking its own directories.
