I installed org-mode-6.27a. For the most part, it works fine. Then I noticed a problem: The exporting to LaTeX and PDF commands don't work as described in the manual: http://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX_002fPDF-export-commands.html#LaTeX_002fPDF-export-commands I get an error message instead. Looking into the gnus mailing list/newsgroup, I found the culprit: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/7786/focus=7925 Essentially, there are two files: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/org-exp.el which is owned by org-mode-6.27a, and: /usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/textmodes/org-export-latex.el which is owned by the org-mode that comes in emacs. The latter file, I believe, is not part of the current org-mode version. When I try to export to LaTeX, there's a conflict between these two. What's the best way to fix this? Is there a clean way for me to remove the org-mode that comes with Emacs without upsetting Portage? A simpler solution would be if I could somehow specify in my .emacsrc that it should always use the org-mode that I manually installed, rather than the one bundled in Emacs. (In case you're wondering, the features in the new org-mode not present in Emacs work - so somewhere Emacs is seeing the new org-mode). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load up an org file. 2.Switch to org-mode. 3.Press C-c C-e l to output as LaTeX. Actual Results: Fails - gives an error message. Expected Results: A .tex file emerge --info output.

In you load-path site-lisp/org-mode comes before 22.3/lisp/textmodes as it should be, so Emacs it should find the standalone org-mode before the one that is included with Emacs 22. And I cannot reproduce the problem. I've tried with org-mode-6.27a and the following example file: <http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/attachment/wiki/test%20plans/example.org?format=raw>. LaTeX export seems to work fine.

Sorry, this sentence should read: "In your load-path site-lisp/org-mode comes before 22.3/lisp/textmodes, as it should be. So Emacs should find the standalone org-mode before the one that is included with Emacs 22."
That is strange. I tried again and it still fails. Below is the Message buffer. Is there any way to get some sort of trace when it executes the command? Select command: Loading org-export-latex...done Exporting to LaTeX... Loading latexenc...done (New file) Loading tex-mode... Loading regexp-opt...done Loading tex-mode...done org-export-latex-first-lines: Symbol's function definition is void: org-cleaned-string-for-export
Does it also fail if you start Emacs with "emacs -q"? What is the output of "C-h f org-export-as-latex RET", if you issue this as the first command after starting Emacs? The first line should be as follows: org-export-as-latex is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `org-latex'.
Without emacs -q, the output is: org-export-as-latex is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `org-export-latex'. With emacs -q, the output is the same. It gives the same error with emacs -q.
I seem to have fixed this by adding (require 'org-install) in .emacs. Closing the bug (but you can reopen if you want to investigate further).
This probably explains it. From the orgmode FAQ: "This wrong version loading may also happen if you have a byte-compiled org.elc from an old version together with a new org.el. Since Emacs prefers loading byte-compiled files (even if the .el is newer), it will load the old Org-mode."
(In reply to comment #8) > I seem to have fixed this by adding > > (require 'org-install) > > in .emacs. This is normally done in the site-initialisation file of org-mode, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.d/51org-mode-gentoo.el which is also part of site-gentoo.el. So you don't load site-gentoo in your site-start.el or ~/.emacs? > Closing the bug (but you can reopen if you want to investigate further). Reopening, since we still don't know if this issue is a real bug or a problem with your configuration.
I don't have that in my .emacs. Where exactly is it located? I'd like to read up more about it - where is this documented? A brief glance at the emacs ebuild doesn't seem to show it.
(In reply to comment #11) > I don't have that in my .emacs. In the default Gentoo installation, there should be a file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el . I think the postinst message of app-emacs/emacs-common-gentoo explains it well: All site initialisation for Gentoo-installed packages is added to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el. In order for this site initialisation to be loaded for all users automatically, a default site-start.el is created in the same directory. You are responsible for all further maintenance of this file. Alternatively, individual users can add the following command: (require 'site-gentoo) to their ~/.emacs initialisation files, or, for greater flexibility, users may load single package-specific initialisation files from /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.d/. You may run "emerge --config emacs-common-gentoo" to create the default site-start file. Resolving as invalid since this is not a bug of org-mode.
