What exactly is in ~/elisp? You say the source files, but are you unpacking the 
tar
file there? If so, adding ~/elisp to your load path is almost certainly wrong: 
the lisp
files are in a subdirectory called "lisp".

Use locate-library to find out where you are getting all these:

(locate-library "org")
(locate-library "remember")

Then figure out where you *should* be getting them from.

You probably need to do something like this in your .emacs (substitute
your values as indicated):

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/directory/containing/org.el-6.26d")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/directory/containing/remember.el")

[...and possibly more: e.g. the contrib/lisp directory]

Since org-export-latex-content does not call
org-cleaned-string-for-export (at least in my setup - in fact, I don't
think the function exists any longer), I assume that you are using some
remnants of the 5.23a installation, perhaps mixing-n-matching
pieces from the two installs.
