I finally figured out the following initialization code for orgmode based on your above wonderful notes: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/lisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Public/repo/code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git/contrib/lisp" t) (require 'org) Thanks again for your help.
