When I put (require 'dired-details+) in my .emacs on invoking dired by `C-x d' everything starts up as it should but the key-bindings are ')' for more details and '(' for less details, instead of either of them working as the toggle. However when I load it using `M-x load-library dired-details+' I get the expected behaviour, either keys '(' or ')' toggles the details in the dired buffer.
