That's it. load-path is not a function, but a variable (check with "C-h
v load-path"). It is the path where emacs looks for .el files, similar
to PATH in the system. It doesn't mean "load this path".

That is just what I did and is working good.  But still I'm surprised,
maybe load-path is just used to define places *where to find files*, and
not the list of files to load automatically on sartup.

Thanks,

First make sure they'll load after running emacs and hitting meta-x and 
keying in the file names.  Then read the original .el files for 
instructions.  I expect you'll find code in them starting with (require 
that needs to be inserted in your .emacs file to have these load on 
start up.

Unless someone comes with something better, I think that you also have
to load every one of your files explicitly with load-file.

Take a look at https://www.gnu.org/s/libtool/manual/emacs/Init-File.html .
