Um... His code already does that.
add-to-list (which is a cleaner function than nconc) puts its argument
at the front of the list; that's the desired behavior.
To the original poster: Is semantic really installed in the directory
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic-1.2.1 ?
Could you try
M-x locate-library
semantic
and see what that returns.
Also, the calls to expand-file-name appear to be redundant, since your
filenames are already fully expanded. They shouldn't hurt, but they don't
help either.
