(1) I extracted the latest tar.gz file downloaded from org-mode.org (org-mode-9d16365c201201679b190c601c8d32e06530a21a.tar.gz) to /tmp/org-mode.
(2) I loaded Emacs with "emacs -Q" and then entered: (setq load-path (cons "/tmp/org-mode/lisp" load-path)) into the scratch buffer. (4) I marked it and ran "eval-region". "M-x org-version" reported "N/A N/A" instead of 7.8.11-1. (5) I then tried the minimal file and exported to LaTeX and it *STILL* exports Headline1 and Headline2: ------------- * Headline1 * Headline2 :export: ------------- (6) I repeated by evaluating: (add-to-list 'load-path "/tmp/org-mode/lisp") (require 'org-install) in the scratch buffer and exporting again. As above. I don't know what more I can do on this issue.
