Reporting back.
Restarting Emacs got by the "Cannot open load file: ob.el" error. I
haven't been able to reproduce this error when I reload or refresh Org.
Also, I haven't seen any references to
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/... since I had the error loading
ob.el. I read through the FAQ and discovered that one of the
starter-kits (the Worg page just refers to "starter-kit," as if it were
a singleton) can lead to a situation where Org packaged with Emacs is
loaded first, leading to a "frankenstein" Org. The solution noted
there, to call (package-initialize) early on, appears to have been
adopted in Eric Schulte's starter-kit for Emacs 24, which I use, and
which AFAICT calls this function early in the process.
Perhaps updating through elpa breaks a load-path link established by the
starter-kit for the old Org installation, due to the name change in the
elpa Org package date stamp?
Later, I removed the Org package and reinstalled it, using the package
manager. The process worked fine, but I still have Org 7.8.11. Perhaps
I should wait patiently for 7.9 to propagate to elpa? Not a problem on
a beautiful beach day :)
All the best,
Tom
