Re: [Orgmode] strange behavior for export

[Robert Klein]

Eric,

where in your .emacs is the (require 'org-install) command?

In one of my setups I had it before the load-paths.

I didn't notice, because of an older version of org-mode
bundled with emacs; org-version reports the new version
but that is not what my emacs used in exporting.


Carsten,

is there a reason why the manual says I should do the 'make'
after it talks about load-path but before it tells me to put
(require 'org-install) into the .emacs-file?

I should know better, but I still managed to confuse one of
my .emacs-files when I started using org-mode.

Best regards
Robert
