I have install emacs 20.7 into a private area. I have checked in the
epaths.h that the load-path is correct to point to the lisp directory.  When
I am done installing I can open an run emacs - once/first time and everytime
works. It finds the lisp files and the path.  If I keep this emacs open and
open another emacs - this one cannot find any lisp files and acts like it
has the wrong load-path but I cannot check since "view" file cannot be fount
to open.   (I have tried with a .emacs that that has the correct load-path
specified and without .emacs).  Finally if I close all the emacs programs
(including the first) then all other emacs that open never find the lisp
files. 
 
I would say the compile or epaths.h setting were wrong but the first emacs
after install works great but only that emacs and I cannot ever exit it -
then emacs never owrks again.
