I copied that from Josep Bigorra Gnus bbdb setup
;; BBDB: Address list von Josep Bigorra
(add-to-list 'load-path "/gnu/store/")
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'message 'gnus 'sendmail)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p t
bbdb/news-auto-create-p t)
;; auto-complete emacs address using bbdb UI
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
'(lambda ()
(flyspell-mode t)
(local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))
but it does not work
where are the mistakes?
may be the load-path?
thanks
