Hello, I had a similar issue when setting up Org on a Debian system lately. For some reason Emacs was not adding a =subdirs.el= file to =/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/=.
Including the following provided the desired result: ,---(/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el)--------------- | ;; -*- no-byte-compile: t -*- | (if (fboundp 'normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path) | (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) `--------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Jonathan On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 9:09 PM, Vikas Rawal <vikasli...@agrarianresearch.org> wrote: > I have a debian system.
