This is not a problem in and of itself. The important thing is to put the path to the Org-mode you want to use on the front of the load path (either with the command line flag above or with an `add-to-list' in your config) *before* the first time Org-mode is required with a (require 'org). That should be sufficient. -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte
