Installation question

Installation question

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha list,

I'm having a difficult time installing org after upgrading to emacs 24.1
:(

If I make compile, then my initialization stops with an error because a
macro in org-compat.el can't be found.  If I make uncompiled, then
initialization appears to work correctly.

I'm working on a Mac and run emacs 24.1 from Emacs.app.  There is also an
emacs 22.1 in /usr/local/bin/.  I have an alias in .bashrc that
associates emacs with the emacs 24.1 from Emacs.app.  This works in my
regular bash shell.

However, make compile finds emacs 22.1, instead of emacs 24.1.  Could
this be the source of my difficulties?

All the best,
Tom

Point EMACS in local.mk.  This is the Emacs exe that will be used for
compilation.

Aloha Jambunathan,

Thanks for this suggestion.  Unfortunately, my hope that compiling with
emacs 24.1 would solve my problem was in vain.

Compilation ends like this:

In end of data:
org.el:22582:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined:
    org-clock-sum-current-item, org-element-context
Wrote /Users/dk/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/lisp/org.elc
Done (Total of 111 files compiled, 2 skipped)

Initialization with the compiled installation gives this warning:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/dk/.emacs.d/init.el':

Symbol's function definition is void: org-find-library-dir

Initialization will not give warnings if I make uncompiled.

These are new problems after upgrading to emacs 24.1 and Eric Schulte's
emacs 24 starter kit.  The starter kit seems to be working correctly.

Help?

All the best,
Tom

Apparently, there are problems using both the kit and Org from GNU ELPA.

If you can use git, my suggestion in this case would be to clone the Org
repo then to build Org from there.  You don't really need to know git,
you just need to have it and to let the repo point at the version you
want (problably the last commit in the maint branch.)

HTH,
