Re: [O] Installing Org 8
Try putting (package-initialize) as the first line of your .emacs, that should do the trick. Best, Jorge.
Re: [O] Installing Org 8
I've wasted an entire day trying to upgrade to Org 8 under OS X :( I'm using a modified version of Emacs, with ESS pre-installed. I've also downloaded the latest 24.3.1 Emacs for OS X and tried with that. In both cases, I am able to install Org 8 (20140730 now) via ELPA. It installs to a local directory. However, when I restart Emacs and enter 'org-version', I am shown: "Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ /Users/macbookair/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20140730/)" It looks like the pre-installed version is taking precedence, but it is showing the folder of the new version. I tried deleting the pre-installed version of Org from the /Applications/... folder, but then Emacs generates an error on start-up about not being able to locate the org-latex file. I did manage to install both the latest Org and ESS into the latest Emacs 24.3.1, but then Emacs was not able to open Bazaar VC files -- it could not find the 'bzr' file (Bazaar is, of course, installed; the ESS-modified Emacs can open Bazaar VC files). As it stands now, I'm back to using the ESS-modified version of Emacs (as it has ESS and bzr working) and have Org 8 installed via ELPA, but not working. *Sigh*
Re: [O] Installing Org 8
This was a network/proxy issue. Emacs was also unable to contact GNU, but displayed a default/cached (?) list of packages.
[O] Installing Org 8
I successfully upgraded Org mode to version 8 by following these[1] instructions. I am now trying to repeat this on a Mac OS X system. After "M-x list-packages", Emacs connects to elpa.gnu.org and then to orgmode.org, but reports that it is unable to connect to orgmode.org, and presents a list of the packages from GNU only (no upgrade is available for org). Navigating to the Org mode repository directly works, so the site is online. I am using a modified version of Emacs[2] with various packages pre-installed[3], which has Org mode version 7.9.3f. [1] http://orgmode.org/elpa.html [2] http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/mac/ [3] This was the only way I could get ESS installed in Emacs under OS X.
