The Org that comes with your Emacs is probably version 8.2.10. Unless you do something [1] to load Org, it will not be loaded at startup: emacs -Q (featurep 'org) => nil Again, I'm just guessing here, but it sounds like you're not installing Org from ELPA, but then you're installing some ox packages from ELPA that depend on a newer Org and will pull it in. If the version of Org that comes with Emacs is already loaded when that happens, you can run into issues with a mixed installation. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install [1] For example, call an autoloaded Org command, visit an Org file, or explicitly load Org in your configuration. -- Kyle
