Problems: o org-contacts requires a recent version (> 7.4) of org. The version that came with your emacs is not going to cut it. o you are probably loading the version of org that came with your emacs. To check, say M-x locate-library org and see where it loads org.el (or org.elc) from. o if you are using the built-in version, download the version from git (if you have not already) and follow the instructions in section 1.2, "Installation", of the Org manual to install it.

Don't leave it hanging around. If you still have problems, submit another problem report (btw, the information you included in this one was spot-on: both the .emacs and the backtrace were needed for diagnosis). HTH, Nick
