Hi Carsten,
thanks. Error was in my way to load the devel version
Have been told to follow instructions and load

By who?
the right customization is
(require 'org-install).
Hi Carsten,
that surprises me.
AFAIU
(require
only loads a feature, if it's not present already.
As my distributed Emacs comes with an --basically empty--
org-install.el, which provides it (but does nothing in reality, then
sending a "provide"), I'd be afraid its done here.
Hi Andreas,
also the org-install.el that comes with Emacs is only loded when
you (or
some other package) issues a require.
So I'm nearly drowned.
In my imagination an explicite "load" overwrites the symbols
unconditionally,
while "require" does a check.
This is correct, it does. However, if you path is not setup
correctly, things will *still* fail after that. You were saying that
this is the recommended way which it is not. And it is a
misconception to assume that all files that come with Emacs will
always be loaded....
