Oh, actually that wasn't the issue.

org-babel-load-file seems to force tangling the file to an .el. org-babel-tangle-file doesn't. Is there a way to force the output to the .el file without using the parameter in the code block itself?

Thanks!

Hi Thomas,

Stupid me. There was a syntax error in the code block -- "emacs_lisp" instead of "emacs-lisp".

Thank you for taking your time to answer it, though!

Not really, but you do need to tell Babel you want to tangle this code
block.  See the header argument :tangle, which by default is set to
`no'.  If you add :tangle yes to the code block header, then it should
do what you want.
