You can determine the loaded version of a library from within emacs with the follow command: M-x locate-library notmuch It's also good to know how many notmuch instances are installed on your system. For instance, I have a system-wide installation, a "personal" installation, the build currently in the source tree, etc. Depending on the options I supply to emacs at startup, I could run a variety of versions. jamie.
