LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Emacs color-theme and Cannot load file error

Hi all,

I've been trying to get color-theme to work on Emacs 23.4.1, but I receive the following error after launching Emacs:

Code:

File error: Cannot open load file, color-theme

I have installed color-theme via http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...e/color-theme/
Here is a portion of my .emacs file:

Code:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/color-themes")

(require 'color-theme)

(eval-after-load "color-theme"

  '(progn

    (color-theme-initialize)

    (color-theme-tomorrow)))

My color-theme.el file is located at

Code:

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/color-theme.el

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT:

I found that my EMACSLOADPATH is pointing to /usr/local/share/blah blah blah instead of /usr/share/blah blah blah
I'll update this as I go along. As a side note, I'm using Slackware. I used a slackbuild to install this, but it installed in /usr/share instead of /usr/local/share, so it seems that I had two versions installed and libraries in only one location.

I'm currently trying to installed color-theme manually, but make or make install isn't working for this.

EDIT:

I was never able to overcome the compile error from color-theme so I decided to go diving into the SlackBuild. After doing so I noticed a particular line that references /usr/ and I changed it to /usr/local and this fixed the problem. Turns out Slackware is a bit weird and installed the distribution version of emacs into /usr/share and so the SlackBuild for color-theme reflected that.
