Subject: Newbie: adding a library
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 20:21:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0309292008060.1171-100000@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
I run GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on a RedHat 8.0 machine.
I have recently read through "Sams Teach Yourself Emacs in 24 Hours".
My very first attempt at customising Emacs hasn't worked, though.
I want to be able to read compressed files, so I added the line
(require 'jka-compr)
to my .emacs file. But Emacs seems to just ignore it (I looked at the
*Messages* buffer, which did not even mention it).
I tried also adding the line
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp" load-path))
before the "require" line, to tell Emacs where jka-compr.elc is, but
this did not help.
What am I doing wrong?
David
