Latest Org Compatible with Emacs 23.3.1

Good day!

I'm running emacs-23.3.1 on an up-to-date Xubuntu 12.04.2 system.
It includes orgmode-6.33x.

I downloaded orgmode-8.0.6, but the "build" failed with these error
messages:

The messages suggest that 8.0.6 is not compatible with my version of Emacs.

Though I was able to run it, I am concerned that some of the
functionality might be "broken" and I'll run into "trouble" later.


So, wanting to use the latest version possible, I ask: 

    What is the latest version of Orgmode that I can use?

    From where might I down it?


Thanks for your comments/suggestions!

Org will try to be compatible with Emacs 23 at least until Emacs 25
release. I fixed the compilation errors. They should be gone in Org
8.0.7. Thank you for reporting them.

The errors you're getting are minor (they are about exporter UI). I'm
pretty sure you can use current version without problems, until next one
is out.

Excellent!

How did you "get around" the missing Emacs functions (scroll-up-line and
scroll-down-line)?  Made/included your own?  ;-)

You are welcome.

OK, guess I'll continue using 8.0.6 until the 8.0.7 release.


I appreciate the prompt and helpful reply!

(scroll-up-line) is the same as (scroll-up 1).

I was rude, sorry.  I C-s ed for error and landed up in makeinfo.

The messages pertaining to scroll etc usually pop up as warning messages
in Emacs-24.  This is routine.  I didn't anticipate the functions were
not defined on Emacs 23 so I just overlooked them.

No problem ... thanks for your apology.
