[Orgmode] Re: strange bug using emacs -nw and org.mode

[Richard Riley]

Hi Thomas,

I believe the bug has been fixed - I reported a use case to Carsten and
he has fixed it in GIT.

I enclose it below FYI:

,----
| Hi Carsten,
| 
| 
| I can not be 100% the following is what fixed a bad startup problem but
| it might have.
| 
| I recently had a "bad sexp" error at start from org-bbdb-anniversaries
| in my diary.org file.
| 
| Funnily enough it only happened in emacs -nw (terminal mode),
| 
| In the start up for this terminal mode I selectively did NOT start
| icicles.
| 
| Another issue caused me to dump icicles for ido-mode.
| 
| Suddenly I got the same sexp error in emacs-x too.
| 
| Anyway, finally I simply
| 
| "(require 'bbdb)"
| 
| before (org-install) and it works.
| 
| Somehow, somewhere I can only assume icicles loaded bbdb before I loaded
| org.
| 
| I have gnus on an autoload and so if its not already loaded then bbdb is
| not there.
| 
| The solution was simple : 
| 
| I would suggest a (require 'bbdb) line in org-bbdb. It helped me.
| 
| regards
| 
| r.
