Cannot open load file: ox-html

It seems you might be missing the html export engine… please consult emacs/org-mode documentation for details.

You will need to have ox-html (which IIRC is only available in org-mode >= v8.x).

[shelper]

i am using org-mode 8.2.10, and there is ox-html.el.gz and ox-html.elc, but not ox-html.el does that mean the plugin can only use ox-html.el but not the byte compiled one?

i just experimented using the unzipped ox-html.el, and i got a different error:

I tracked down to the init.el in the plugin folder, and i think it is the below snippet cause the problem

;; Load additional configuration from conf.el (let ((conf (expand-file-name "conf.el" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (if (file-exists-p conf) (load-file conf)))

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) file-name-directory(nil) (expand-file-name "conf.el" (file-name-directory load-file-name)) (let ((conf (expand-file-name "conf.el" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (if (file-exists-p conf) (load-file conf))) eval((let ((conf (expand-file-name "conf.el" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (if (file-exists-p conf) (load-file conf))) nil) eval-last-sexp-1(nil) eval-last-sexp(nil) call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil) command-execute(eval-last-sexp)

[punchagan]

Both those problems look like different problems. Can you try commenting out the snippet to load conf.el and see if things work?

;; ;; Load additional configuration from conf.el
;; (let ((conf (expand-file-name "conf.el" (file-name-directory load-file-name))))
;;   (if (file-exists-p conf)
;;       (load-file conf)))

[shelper]

that is what i did , then i have another error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) file-name-directory(nil) (expand-file-name "macros.org" (file-name-directory load-file-name)) (find-file (expand-file-name "macros.org" (file-name-directory load-file-name))) (set-buffer (find-file (expand-file-name "macros.org" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (save-current-buffer (set-buffer (find-file (expand-file-name "macros.org" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (org-macro--collect-macros)) (setq nikola-macro-templates (save-current-buffer (set-buffer (find-file (expand-file-name "macros.org" (file-name-directory load-file-name)))) (org-macro--collect-macros))) eval-buffer() ; Reading at buffer position 1240 call-interactively(eval-buffer nil nil) command-execute(eval-buffer)

i tried to comment that macro block and the line (org-macro-replace-all nikola-macro-templates) as well, after that, no error, but for any org file after build it I lose all the headers and cannot correctly deploy it...

[punchagan]

@shelper is this still a problem?

Does emacs start for you without errors when using the plugin's init.el? Try running the following, and get back with the errors, if any.

$ emacs -Q -q --debug-init -l plugins/orgmode/init.el 

[imkerberos]

@shelper I have this problem too. After investigated, I found that I aliased the "emacs" with "open /Application/Emacs.app" in ".bashrc" . Remove the alias command from shell environment and install a newest version emacs (brew install emacs) will resolve this issue.

[shelper]

it works for me now after update everything. one question though, i use both org mode and md files, and i wonder why org-mode needs its own highlighting theme file? why it cannot use the theme for the code block that md file uses?

i have to follow exactly the steps as described here to get the code block pygmentized and the pygmentation is different from the md files.

[shelper]

actually it still has the issue with my macbook, on windows eveything is fine, and i am using the same version of nikola orgmode, emacs, configuration, etc.

since the error is about ox-html, i put the ox-html.el into the load path and a new error says: "cannot load cl-lib file"

then i put cl-lib in the load path, the error does not go away.... dont know what to do...
