Re: [O] [BUG] babel eval of emacs-lisp: orgtbl-to-orgtbl: Wrong type argument: listp, t

[John Kitchin]

I am pretty sure this is a long-standing "feature".

Try this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results raw
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((emacs-lisp . nil)
  (R . t)))
#+END_SRC

I have never been able to use a babel block  that outputs a list of cons
cells without explicitly setting results to raw or code. The problem
here is your code evaluates to ((emacs-lisp) (R . t)), and the t somehow
gets interpreted like it should be a list, which it is not. So, it
cannot be made into a table for output, and you get your error.

Changing the header just bypasses this function and outputs the results
more directly.
