Emacs doesn't seem to load files in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
installed by ports. E.g python-mode installs files in this directory,
but python-mode is not available in emacs afterwards. I have to manually
tell emacs to look in these files.
Are there any way to get emacs to automatically read files in this
directory? Am I missing something? Shouldn't the ports system by default
be setup in a way that this would work?
My emacs compiled out of ports does look in that directory by default.
In emacs do "ESC-x describe-variable load-path" which tells you where
emacs is looking. Mine is
("/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/site-lisp"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/leim"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/toolbar"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/textmodes"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/progmodes"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/play"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/obsolete"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/net"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mail"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/language"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/international"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/gnus"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/eshell"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emulation"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emacs-lisp"
"/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/calendar")
and as you can see second entry is "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"
Assuming it is missing for you, then you could add something like this
to your .emacs
(set-variable 'load-path (append '("/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp")
load-path))
but that sticks it at the end, so anything there won't override
defaults, which is not so good.
Make sure you environment does not set EMACSLOADPATH which would
override compile-time defaults.
