I use el-get org-mode recipe, but I see the same behavior with a typical org-mode config from init.el.
On org-mode git master start with emacs bzr trunk (emacs 24), org errors on load: File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "lisp/org") progn: Cannot open load file: lisp/org Any idea what file mode specification in this context would be? The unix file mode is normal: [master]~/.emacs.d/el-get $ ls -al org-mode/lisp/org.el* -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser users 774897 May 10 16:45 org-mode/lisp/org.el -rw-r--r-- 1 myuser users 688684 May 10 16:45 org-mode/lisp/org.elc Thanks for any suggestions, Jeff
