I would rather not like to see that train wreck. Which loaddefs.el do you refer to? This one: ,-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | /usr/share/emacs/24.2/lisp: | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1265779 18. Nov 08:38 loaddefs.el | ... | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 30. Apr 2012 org -> /home/tj/gitclone/org-mode `-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- or this one: ,----------------------------------------------- | home/tj/gitclone/org-mode/lisp/org-loaddefs.el `----------------------------------------------- I don't know which one is updated when I run 'make autoloads' in 'home/tj/gitclone/org-mode/', but even if the '/usr/share/emacs/24.2/lisp/loaddefs.el' doesn't get updated in the process, where is the desaster looming if there is only one single Org-mode installation on the machine? And what about runnung 'make autoloads' in ' /usr/share/emacs/24.2/lisp' after replacing the org folder with a symlink? I would like to understand this better to avoid future trouble. -- cheers, Thorsten
