unknown rx from literal about orgaggregate HOT 7 CLOSED

I confirm that I get the same error as you, rx 'not' syntax error: 39, using the rx version of January 1, 2016.
This is fixed. Now orgaggregate works with any rx library up to 5 years old.
Please tell me if there is still an issue.

I am on the road. I will investigate this odd behaviour as soon as possible.
The rx library appeared in Emacs 21.1. So the bug you found does not look like it is due to an old rx version.

May you try this?

• insert that in the *scratch* buffer of your Emacs
  (rx (literal "abc"))
• execute it by typing Ctrl-J after the last closing parenthesis
• tell me the result (it should be "abc")

Thanks for your bug report

The output of trying what you suggested is the following:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Unknown rx form ‘literal’")
  signal(error ("Unknown rx form ‘literal’"))
  error("Unknown rx form `%s'" literal)
  rx-form((literal "abc"))
  rx-to-string((literal "abc") t)
  #f(compiled-function (&rest regexps) #<bytecode 0x1c7ae21>)((literal "abc"))

Ok, then your version of rx does not have literal. After investigating, it seems the literal feature appeared around June 26, 2019. You Emacs 26.3 was released shortly after, on August 28, 2019, and does not yet contain literate.
I will prepare a patch to avoid literate.
Stay tuned

I've just published a patch to avoid the new literal feature of the rx library.
This should fix the issue you experienced.
You can test it either by loading https://github.com/tbanel/orgaggregate/blob/master/orgtbl-aggregate.el or by installing the new Melpa package which will be available in a few hours.
I close the issue. Please feel free to re-open it if you still have the issue.

thanks for responding so quickly, I have loaded the new orgtbl-aggregate.el and tried the first example from your README but I am sorry to say that now when attempting to run it, I receive rx 'not' syntax error: 39. In the messages buffer, the message before this error is Updating dynamic block 'aggregate' at line 64

from orgaggregate.

Well, I guess I have to load an old version of the rx library and make sure everything works.
I will do that
I re-open the issue
Please stay tuned
