Hello,
I am trying to use the latest version of the org-plus-contrib from the
org Elpa repository (and using emacs-snapshot in Ubuntu 12-04), but I
get a weird error. My first clue was this error:
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/home/tftorrey/.emacs.d/init.el':
Symbol's function definition is void: org-find-library-dir
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

Starting Emacs with emacs --debug-init produces this backtrace:

If I comment out (org-clock-persistence-insinuate) in my init files,
Emacs starts without error.
What's extra weird is that if I then uncomment
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate) and restart Emacs, it starts without
error -- once. After that, it produces the original error again.
I don't understand that backtrace very well, but it looks like something
is hardcoded to look in a contrib subdirectory for the contrib files and
can't find them when they are moved to the root of the package
directory.
Finally, I haven't taken the time to debug it fully, but trying to
prepare this bug report using the org-plus-contrib package also failed,
with this error that looks related:
