Hi all,
In addition to being pretty new to org-mode, I'm also an emacs novice. I
am running ubuntu feisty with emacs 22.1.1 from the feisty backports
repository.
At some point, I made a mess of things in upgrading org-mode; stupidly I
sometimes modified the makefile so as to install the local lisp files to
a local lisp tree ~/emacs/site-lisp (loaded by my .emacs) and sometimes
so that they ended up in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. My bad.
<snip>
Could someone with a similar OS/emacs combo please suggest what's the
right thing to do?
Hi all,
I got a couple of off-list replies. I summarize them here for future
googlers :-)
Both replies suggested that ~/emacs/site-lisp was probably the right
thing. (You can ensure that works by including a line like
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/brian/emacs/site-lisp")
early in your .emacs.)
The really helpful bit was reminding me that I ought to run the make
dance as me, rather than by sudo'ing. This will ensure that the
process will only work if I am indeed installing into my local directory.
Thanks to those who wrote,
