Finding color-theme in .emacs.d

Finding color-theme in .emacs.d

[Eric Lilja]

Hello, I encountered a problem when I tried to move my color-theme 
directory to ~/.emacs.d (can't wait for color-theme to be included in 
the official emacs btw).

I have this in my .emacs-file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/color-theme")
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-clarity)

which works fine when color-theme is directly under ~

However, if I move it to ~/.emacs.d and update the snippet accordingly:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/color-theme")
(require 'color-theme)
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-clarity)

It cannot be found, why? I should place third party modes under 
.emacs.d, right? At least that's what the wiki says. :)

I'm using emacs trunk, checkout is a few days old.

OK, not a single reply so far. But could someone at least if it's 
supposed to work or not?

I have it in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, which is already in
load-path.


In my .emacs I have

    ;; Non-std locations for elisp code
    ;;
    (setq load-path (append (list "/allan/gottlieb/share/emacs/") load-path))
    (if (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el")
        (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo"))

and

    ;; Fancy colors
    ;;   Use my own color-theme, starting with `dark-laptop'
    (require 'color-theme)
    (color-theme-initialize)
    (load-file "/allan/gottlieb/.emacs.d/ajg-color-theme-library.el")
    (color-theme-dark-laptop)

I use both emacs-22 (22.1) and emacs-23 (23.0.60) with the setup
above.

What doesn't work, the require or the color-theme-blah?

I'm guessing the color-theme-libraries variable is probably pointing
to the wrong place (i.e. still at ~/color-theme when you compiled it
the first time).  Try changing that variable to the right thing (or
maybe byte-compile the package again in it's new place).
