Don't have to what by hand? Put all of the libraries in a directory that is in your load-path, then load the library (doremi-frm.el) that is at the root of the dependency tree. What is so hard about that? You don't have to think about it - just put all the libraries in a sack and pull the root library (doremi-frm.el) out of the sack; everything else will follow, hanging on. --- BTW, you might be interested in library `lib-requires.el' (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/lib-requires.el), which provides these commands for keeping track of library dependencies: - lib-requires-tree: The libraries (files or features) `require'd by LIBRARY, as a tree. - lib-requires: The libraries ultimately `require'd by LIBRARY, as a flat list. - insert-lib-requires-as-comment: Insert a comment listing all libraries ultimately required by LIBRARY. In particular, you can use `lib-requires-tree' to see which libraries require which libraries. However, these commands work by *loading* all of the required libraries, so they won't help you if the libraries are not available in your load-path. One limitation, unfortunately, is that these commands cannot distinguish between "hard" and "soft" `require's - because Emacs does not record the distinction. A "soft" `require' is one with a non-nil third argument: the "required" library is in fact *optional*. These commands treat all `require'd libraries as "required" libraries - so they are overly conservative. But they can still help you understand what's going on.
