I tried to get the "capture"-Feature to work.

I did the following things:

  • Installation of the newest Version of the Org mode (now the version 8.2.10)
  • To get the capture feature work i added to my .emacs:
;;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3622603/org-mode-setup-problem-when-trying-to-use-capture

;(add-to-list 'load-path "/nils/home/emacs.d/org-7.01h/lisp")

(require 'org-install)

(require 'org) ;; maybe this line is redundant

;; Verzeichnis für "org-capture" festlegen
 (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org"))

(define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)

After these changes i get the error message
Symbol's function definition is void: org-link-types
when I open a .org file.

I don't know how to handle this error message.

    You get this error because org-link-types is a variable in orgmode 8.2.10 and not a function. But, from this search it looks like this symbol has a function definition in newer versions of orgmode (version 9.x). Maybe, you mixed different versions of orgmode?

  • Yes, this is possible.

  • Directly after the installation emacs told me, that the version of org-mode ist 9.0.2, now it tells me it's the version 8.2.10.

    So you should get rid of one of these versions. It may be that one of these versions comes from the package manager of yor system (e.g. apt-get under linux) and the other one from elpa or melpa (these are found unter ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20161017/).

    Are you using Spacemacs ? In version 0.200.7 "org layer" seems to be causing such version conflicts in org-mode. I found a related issue here , and proposed a solution with a patch (also in PR #8399).

I solved the problems with uninstall all org-packages in elpa. Now the my .org files open without the error and the links work fine.

Thanks to Tobias for his hints!
