My question was about the second path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" which is "for locally installed packages meant for use with all installed Emacs versions." Let me elaborate on my question. I want to provide users with an easy "make install" what would put my package into a dirrectory where *all* version of emacs present on the machine can see. The manual says that directory is "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" which is not true because sub directories of that directory are not expanded. Nor the subdirectories of "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" are expanded. Vitalie
