Thanks again! I now have these lines for the latest orgmode which works pretty well (setq el-get-sources '( ... (:name org-mode ;; :build ("make clean" "make") :after (lambda () (setq load-path (remove "~/rechner/emacs-trunk/lisp/org/" load-path)) )) )) I found two or three threads on the web where people ran into the same problems like me. One problem is the load path. If I e.g. install `dired+` with el-get-install where is it afterwards? Why can't I load it with load-library? Anyway, I am using emacs more than 5 years now without some package helper. To update modes like orgmode which I pull from git I have a little script which updates all at once. The single *.el files I put in a directory and generate autoloads. That's it. I think I am happy knowing that there are ways to manage elisp code and that they might work... henry -- http://literaturlatenight.de
