In your .emacs file, *just before* package-initialize add this and restart Emacs. (when (featurep 'org) (error "Some mysterious force has already loaded org. Investigate why this is so.")) In the above operation, if you see that some mysterious force is indeed operating, demystify the force by adding the following line to the *top* of your .emacs and restart emacs. (setq debug-on-error t) (eval-after-load 'org '(error "Some mysterious force is loading Org")) Note that Org could be loaded automatically from system path, if somewhere in the init sequence an Org file is visited (are you using desktop save or session save related libraries?) or you have some custom org related code. It is possible that backtrace may give you an hint on what possibly could be happening in your load sequence. Jambunathan K.
