I'm running this:
 hyperb:version's value is "04.18"
 emacs-version's  value is "21.3.1"

I don't remember having any trouble getting things set up.  I've
been using the combination for a number of months now...

This isn't the same thing buy you might take a gander at records
mode for emacs: http://sourceforge.net/projects/records
Note the same as Hyperbole nor as complete but an interesting way
to organize notes.
