undefined symbol 'org-export-create-backend' when calling org-plot/gnuplot

[Dave Marquardt]

I attempted to plot a table after installing the 20150928 ELPA package,
and got

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-export-create-backend)
  org-export-create-backend(:parent org :transcoders ((table lambda (table contents info) (concat nil contents nil)) (table-row lambda (row contents info) (if (eq (org-element-property :type row) (quote rule)) nil (let ((headerp (org-export-table-row-in-header-p row info)) (lastp (not (org-export-get-next-element row info))) (last-header-p (org-export-table-row-ends-header-p row info))) (when contents (cond nil nil nil (t (concat ...)))))))

org-table.el has a declare-function call that points to a "org-export"
file, but I don't find such a file in either the code installed by ELPA
or the daily snapshot:

(declare-function org-export-create-backend "org-export" (&rest rest))

Calling org-plot/gnuplot worked last week, before I upgraded to 20150928.

This sounds like a mixed installation: different versions of org
installed and you are picking up bits from both of them.
Search the list for "mixed installation", e.g. check out

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/68240/focus=68265

and the link therein:

Yes, I've run into that issue before. I specifically removed the org
installation that was provided with Gnu Emacs 24.3.2 some time back. I
went back and looked at whether that was an issue here, and I discovered
some .elc files had crept into the Emacs directory tree, so I removed
them.

When I check each org function in the backtrace, each function definition
is in a file in my ELPA installation.

orgtbl-to-generic is in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150928/org-table.el
org-plot/gnuplot-to-data is in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150928/org-plot.el
org-plot/gnuplot is in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150828/org-plot.el

I checked the Git tree, and saw the change that was made related to the
declare-function definitions. From the doc information on
declare-function, it's not clear to me this does anything at run
time. It references "org-export", and I don't see that when I grab the
Git tree. Is "org-export" a file built by the make process? 

Is this just a problem with the ELPA installation? I'm going to try
removing and reinstalling the ELPA package, then if that doesn't change
anything, try instaling from the Git tree.

I reinstalled the ELPA package, same result. I removed the ELPA package,
installed from the Git tree I cloned yesterday, same problem.

Next steps are to temporarily remove my Org customizations, and if that
fails, do some "git bisect" work to see if I can find out when this
broke.

I did git bisect on a couple of x86_64 Linux systems:
- RHEL 6.7 with Emacs 24.3.2
- Fedora 22 with Emacs 24.5.1

The result was

# first bad commit: [6d2ab4071960f8a7f20138291424b468722ab522] org-table: Fix radio tables containing macros

The table I ran M=x org-plot/gnuplot on was from the Org Mode info page
"Org-Plot":

     #+PLOT: title:"Citas" ind:1 deps:(3) type:2d with:histograms set:"yrange [0:]"
