How to install save-history.el in my home directory

How to install save-history.el in my home directory

[Helfer Thomas]

Hello,

I am trying to install the file save-history.el in the directory
~/.emacs.d/

I have updated my .emacs.el like this :

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/")
(require 'save-history)

This doesn't seem to work, emacs tells me that save-history doesn't
exist. Can someone explain me what I have done wrong ?

Thank you.

Helfer Thomas

Could you try: (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name 
"~/.emacs.d/"))?

You have require here, save-history.el should then have a provide 
statement.

Does it work interactively to M-x load-library <RET> save-history 
<RET>? If this succeeds then load-path is correct. Remember: you can 
mark a region and invoke evaluate-region on it to extend load-path. And 
you can check load-path's value too (C-h v with cursor on it).

And there's the *Messages* buffer too, but I think you already 
discovered it ...
