Tabbar installation

Tabbar installation

[Daniel Lidstrom]

Hello,

how do I activate the tabbar script whenever I start emacs? I've tried to
add (load "tabbar") into my .emacs file. This doesn't seem to do it and
when I type M-x `tabbar-mode' I get [No match]. How do I do this?
Thanks!

Where are tabbar.el and tabbar.elc installed?  Are those directories in your

load-path?  If so, (load-library "tabbar") or (require 'tabbar) should work.

load-path's value is 
("/home/daniel/.emacs-lisp/" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp"
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/leim"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/toolbar"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/textmodes"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/progmodes" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/play"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/obsolete" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/net"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mail" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/language"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/international"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/gnus" "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/eshell"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emulation"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emacs-lisp"
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/calendar")

I put tabbar.el in ~/.emacs-lisp/ and .emacs looks like:
;;; Set load-path
(setq load-path  (cons (expand-file-name "~/.emacs-lisp/") load-path))
;;; Prevent Extraneous Tabs
  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
;; Load tabbar
  (load-library "tabbar")
  (global-set-key [(control f10)] 'tabbar-local-mode)


Now when I try ctrl-f10 with two or more files loaded in emacs I don't see
any tabs. What am I missing?

Never mind. I got what I wanted with this in .emacs:
  (require 'tabbar)
  (tabbar-mode)

Thanks!
P.S. Why didn't load-library work?
