Well, that might be a problem when running 21.3.  I would copy the
~/emacs-20.7 directory tree to ~/emacs-21.3, recompile all the .elc
files, and change the above to use the correct version:

(setq load-path
       (nconc (mapcar (lambda (subdir)
                        (format "~/emacs-%d.%d/%s"
                                emacs-major-version
                                emacs-minor-version
                                subdir))
                      '("elib-1.0"
                        "semantic-1.3.2"
                        "speedbar-0.13a"
                        "eieio-0.15"
                        "jde-2.2.6/lisp"))
              load-path))
