Bug: Invalid function: ignore-errors [6.36]

[Robert Andersson]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.

After upgrading from orgmode 6.34c to 6.36 I get an error "Invalid
function: ignore-errors" when toggling checkboxes, and also running

  (org-update-statistics-cookies all)

will not work at all. Downgrading back to 6.34c helps.

I also just now installed version 6.35, which also gave me the same
errors stated above when working with checkboxes. A clean build of
6.34c does not produce these errors... Hope this helps.

Problem exists in some 6.35 versions as well.  Looks like org-list.el uses
`ignore-errors' macro defined in cl-macs.el.  Adding following line near top of
org-list.el file fixes problem for me:

(require 'cl)

Does not appear that cl-macs can be required separately.

The canonical way to require cl only for macros is:
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
See (info "(elisp)Coding Conventions").

org.el does this already.  Just compile your .el files and things  
should work.

You are right, but I suspect the following:

When org is compiled and installed using the Makefile, elisp source files are
compiled individually.  When org-list.el is compiled in isolation and the cl
package is not included, the `ignore-errors' macro is not previously defined;
thus Emacs assumes it's a function instead, so the resulting elc file is broken.
 If org is compiled within Emacs and not from a batch process, it's almost
certain that the cl package will have been loaded, so this problem doesn't occur.

I guess most people don't use the Makefile?

You are right, I have added the statement to org-list.el.

Thanks!
