“Cannot open load file, color-theme” error in emacs-24.1

Question

I'm a bit of a noob. So this question might seem a little bit annoying.

When I try and load the color-theme package into emacs thorough the instructions here: http://www.nongnu.org/color-theme/ and here: http://emacswiki.org/?ColorTheme , I always get the error in quotes in the title.

It may be my init file, which is is an ~/emacs.el configuration. But I want to make sure.

Answer 1

I suspect color-theme is not in your load path. I use color-theme too. Take a look at init.el in my .emacs here . You will several instance of how to load a third party library in emacs.

Answer 2

不确定以前的任何答案是否解决了你的问题，但是另一个问题可能是你的配置在~/emacs.el而它应该在~/.emacs.el （“ .el后缀是可选的，但是领先.不是）。
