Re: [O] Org-mode release 7.9

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha Bastien,

Congratulations on seeing Org to 7.9.  Many thanks to Nicolas, Achim,
Eric, Max and the rest for their many contributions.

I'm using Org from Elpa (which is neat).  When I updated and refreshed
Org, I got the following error:

Loading /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-w3m.elc...done
Loading /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org-wl.elc...done
Loading /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/org.elc...done
Cannot open load file: ob.el

This seems strange to me because I have Org in
~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20120824, and not /Applications/Emacs.app/...

Does anybody have an idea what might be going on here?

Thanks,
Tom
