That is true, assuming you put it in the right site-lisp directory and nothing has removed that directory from your load-path. Does `M-x locate-library RET xscope RET' confirm that it is found in your load-path? If not, what does `C-h v load-path' tell you? > Since all my other local .el loaded fine, I have to presume the issue is > with xscope.el particularly. > I assumed there is some unprintable character got in the way, but I > could not find any (I used od to check). > That is why I am at a loss at why I cannot load xscope.el. > I would appreciate if you can think of anything else that I should check. No, the error is not that the contents of xscope.el cannot be loaded, it's that xscope.el itself cannot be opened. What are its ownership and permissions? -- Kevin
