I am getting this error when I add the following line to .emacs file: Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/<user>/.emacs':
Symbol's value as variable is void: org-directory To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace. This is the line: (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "~/org/note.org")) (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture) The directory ~/org and the file note.org exist. M-x org-version: Org-mode version 7.8.11 M-x emacs-version: GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.1.0) of 2012-09-06 Here is the orgmode related snippet of my .emacs file: ;; orgmode ;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys. (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode)) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) ; not needed when global-font-lock-mode is on (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link) (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda) (global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb) ;; GTD org-mode Todo time (setq org-log-done 'time) (setq org-log-done 'note) ;; (setq org-tag-alist '(("@computer" . ?c) ("@Errands" . ?e) ("@work" . ?w) ("@calls" . ?a)("@Int\ ernet" . ?i) ("@waitingfor" . ?w))) (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "~/org/note.org")) (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture) (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)") (sequence "|" "CANCELED(c)"))) Thanks.
