When you mentioned this extension I tried out dired-details+.el. It works perfectly as expected when I load it using `M-x load-library dired-details+'. However if I put (require 'dired-details+) in my .emacs, I get "Symbol's value as variable is void: dired-mode-map" in the Messages buffer. On starting emacs with the --debug-init flag I get, > Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable dired-mode-map) > byte-code( [dired-mode-map fboundp dired-details-show dired-details-install define-key "(" dired-details-toggle ")" ad-add-advice (fit-dired-frame nil t (advice lambda nil "Save `dired-details-last-state'.

I tried this on Fedora 10 and Xubuntu Hardy Heron with the emacs 22 installed from the distro supplied packages. What am I doing wrong here? I am very new to emacs, just a few months. So its very likely I could be missing something trivial. Thanks for any pointers. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
