The xscope.el and/or xscope.elc file must be in a directory that is a
member of load-path.  Type `C-h v load-path RET' to see that variable's
value.

Whereever you have installed the xscope.el?(c) files, add that to your
load-path before the (require 'xscope) form e.g.

(setq load-path
       (cons "~/emacs" load-path))
