Hi,
I've been reading along as I've been similarly hounded in years past with org
version changes.
It really sounds like you compiled org-9.6 with Org-9.3 already loaded.
I'd recommend reinstalling.
Here is one way to do it that is pretty safe:
> emacs -Q -batch -eval "(progn (require 'package) (package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'org))"
If after doing this, and running emacs, you find M-x org-version does not
return 9.6, or you find the package assert problem, I'd try the more paranoid:
> emacs -Q -batch -eval "(progn (require 'cl-seq) (delete (car
(cl-member "lisp/org" load-path :test #'string-match)) load-path) (require
'package) (package-initialize) (package-refresh-contents) (package-install
'org))"
And possibly consider adding to your init.el at the very top:
(require 'cl-seq) (delete (car (cl-member "lisp/org" load-path :test
#'string-match)) load-path)
YMMV,
