Hi, first of all, please report your Org version with
M-x org-version RET When installing from ELPA, you need to do it from a fresh Emacs session, where Org has not been loaded yet. Then, in your emacs.el, you need to call `package-initialize' before any Org function is called: (require 'package) (setq package-archives '(("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/"))) (package-initialize) (require 'org) Let us know how it goes, -- Bastien
