Re: [O] Upgrade to org 8.0

This is so confusing...

M-x org-version "Org-mode version 8.0.3 (8.0.3-dist @ /Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/)"
M-x list-load-path-shadows:
              /Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/org hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org
              /Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/contrib/lisp/org-wl hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-wl
              /Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/org-w3m hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-w3m

M-x describe-function org-export
       org-export is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `org-exp.el'.
                                                                                                                                         |
                                                                         This one is in /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/

This explains why I got the error when org-export-as-latex on test.org:
                                             org-export-as-latex: Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-default-packages-alist

Totally lost why this is happening...

Thanks a lot for those replies, which are quite helpful.

1. lch-org.el and lch-org-export.el together completes my conf about org, which works before 8.0

2. The version I installed is 8.0.3 tar ball instead of git, usually I do not prefer living at cutting edge.
    - M-x org-version --> "Org-mode version 8.0.3 (8.0.3-dist @ /Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/)"
    - Which reveals the org loaded is the one I installed, which is in my lisp dir.
    - I agree with John's advice -- keep the new version separate and some where in the load-path, which is ~/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/

3. M-x locate org-publish gives: '/Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-publish.elc', indicating my installation has something wrong...
    still working on it.
================
       I just tried list-load-path-shadows, got outputs like:
/Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/org hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org
/Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/contrib/lisp/org-wl hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-wl
/Users/LooChao/Dropbox/.emacs.d/lisp/org/org-w3m hides /Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-w3m
...

which shows my installation is OK, I guess just the new version don't have org-publish so the one bundled with emacs is not shadowed?
=================
Thanks,

Chao

But when I try ffap on (require 'org-publish) seems emacs wants to jump to "/Applications/Documents/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-publish.el.gz", which is the old org version shipped with Emacs itself.

Hi,

Where exactly are the new org files installed? I don't see any load paths defined.

I think the easiest/simplest/cleanest is to keep the hit version separate and just add the lisp dir to your load path vs mixing default org with installed git org files.

I didn't catch any defined ox-* backends loaded either. For every backed you need to add it to org-export-backends or do:

(require 'ox-backend)

Lastly, you have old variable names in there... org-export-backend-* vars are now org-backend-*.

I'd suggest reading the worg doc again!
