Hi, I have just switched to Ubuntu from Debian (fresh install on a new
machine). After I installed the relevant packages (emacs-snapshot,
org-mode) and tried to edit my todo file, I got the error message
Autoloading failed to define function org-mode
I thought I would debug this a bit more before sending a bug report to
Ubuntu.
(require 'org-install) does not help (it is done in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50org-mode.el anyway).
Any hints/suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
emacs-snapshot 1:20090320-1ubuntu1
org-mode 6.27a-1

Tamas,
I would suggest using the git version of org. I know this doesn't
address the problem directly, but it's a good workaround:)
I put all my org mode stuff in a .emacs-lisp folder in my home
directory. In my .emacs I have:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs-lisp/org")
In my org makefile I have:
# Where local software is found
prefix=~/.emacs-lisp
# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/org
# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/share/info
There is a tutorial in Worg on how to set up git to keep your Makefile
customizations between different versions of org. Of course I can't find
the link to it at the moment, when I need it:)
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the suggestion. It turned out that the error was that I
had a file called org.el (that contains my settings) that somehow ended
up in the load-path during the migration, so it was mistakenly loaded
in place of org-mode's org.el. An embarrassingly stupid error on my
part.
But at least now I have the git version :-)
Thanks for the help,
Tamas
