Dear jde users and developers,

This question is not urgent, but I am
bothered that emacs seems unable to find standard 
emacs packages which are present on my sytem.

 After I upgraded from jde-2.1.6, to jde-2.2.3, I am 
faced with the problem where emacs can't find its
own standard packages such as: 

/usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/emacs-lisp/easymenu.el

...even though the files are there. (When I tried
to run jde2.1.6 again, the problem did not go away, 
strangely) 

I have installed a standard emacs 20.5 on Redhat 6.2 
installation.  I have worked around the problem
by adding a host of statements in my startup file: 

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/semantic-1.1/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/speedbar-0.11.1/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/emacs-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/progmodes/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elib")

... but surely emacs should not have to told 
about most of these if they have been properly 
installed?

Would anyone know how to make emacs find its 
own standard elisp packages without the need for the
above statements?


Thanks In Advance.
