Welcome to Emacs!

One of the most important things to do when asking for help with 
issues like this is to not only say that something doesn't work, 
but to describe:

* what you tried to do;
* what you expected to happen;
* what actually happened.

That is: how, /specifically/, did something not work for you?

So in this instance, you might write something like:

---

Here's my Emacs config:

[config]

When I'm in a buffer in c-mode, and I type:

stru

I expect to see a list pop-up showing me possible completions, 
such as 'struct'. But nothing happens, even if I then press TAB.

---

That might help to give people some ideas about where the problem 
might be.

(Also, i highly recommend configuring package archives, such as 
MELPA, and then installing packages via Emacs' package system, 
rather than manually - doing so will mean you usually won't need 
to manually add package directories to your load-path.)
