Hi York,
we definitely need more information in order to find what the problem
is.
1. org-mode version
Always make sure you are using the latest version of org-mode because
you bug may already have been found and fixed.
2. A copy of your entire configuration regarding org-mode.
3. A back-trace of the error. This you can produce in the following
way:
- start a fresh xemacs and make sure that you load noutline.el and
org.el instead of the byte-compiled .elc versions. For example,
I do this with
xemacs -l /path/to/noutline.el -l /path/to/org.el
- go to the menu Options->Troubleshooting
and select "Debug on Error" there.
4. Go ahead and do whatever you have to do to hit the bug, like loading
an org-mode file.
5. When the error is hit, xemacs will pop up a "*Backtrace*" buffer.
We need to see the full content of this buffer. As this buffer
may contain very long lines, it is better to send it as an attachment
than to copy it into the email.
With this information I often can find the bug already, or at least
know what else to ask from you.

Hi,
I am trying to get orgmode working under XEmacs 21.4 (patch 18)
without any
luck. I have followed the instruction, installed noutline-mode and set
all the
variables as requested but I keep getting the following error:
Meta-x org-mode --> Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
If I load a .org file --> File mode specification error:
(wrong-type-argument
stringp nil)
Thanks in advance,
York P. Block
ps. I am not an expert on XEmacs or Emacs configuration, I usually
copy the
config from what I find in the web.
