Hi, thanks for the replies. It obviously was something stupid. I did not execute babel code for quite some time, and for some reason I still had a (setq load-path (cons "/home/erik/elisp/org-mode/lisp/babel" load-path))
in my .emacs and apparently I did not clean up enough and so the ob.elc file in that directory then shadowed the one in the /lisp directory. I tried a clean 'git clone' and there it worked and indeed that directory is not even there. How would I remove that old /lisp/babel directory using git? Typically I just do a 'git pull' and then 'make clean' 'make' to update, but that obviously can lead to problems.
