You should put the *.el and *.elc files into the site-lisp directory. Do C-h v load-path RET and look if the directory /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp is mentioned there. (In the following, I'll assume that it is. If it isn't, there should be another site-lisp directory mentioned there -- use that instead.) ERC should come with installation instructions to say what you need to put in your init file. If you want to install things for the whole site, then frob /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el. (Create the file if it doesn't exist.) If you want to install it for yourself only, edit ~/.emacs. It is not enough to put *.el files in directories, you also have to configure Emacs to actually use them. Usually, one would use (require 'mumblefoo) for this or perhaps autoload statements. -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
