Hi,
I added slime to my configuration via package management.
My load-path
variable contains the correct load-path:
"/Users/guivho/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20141002.1224"
This directory contains a slime-autoloads.el ending with a
(provide 'slime-autoloads)
My .emacs has a
(require 'slime-autoloads)
line but it complains that it does
not find it, unless I explicitely precede this require line with:
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat emacsd-dir "elpa/slime-20141002.1224"))
which adds a second "/Users/guivho/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20141002.1224" to
my load-path.
Why does it only work with this additional entry in the load-path list?
Please advise,
Guido

Because Emacs autoloads those "~/.elpa" packages only after loading a
user init file. See (info "(emacs) Package Installation").
A usual practice is to have:
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(package-initialize)
in your .emacs (before requiring anything from elpa dir).

Thanks Alex.
This is indeed very clearly described in info.
Should have read this before causing noise.
So sorry.
