Stephen> What does M-x list-load-patch-shadows say? Vin> That's supposed to be M-x list-load-path-shadows . Ah, thanks. I trusted Stephen and thus typed exactly what he indicated I should. I guess I should have tried hitting TAB once or twice with a partial entry. In any case, here's what I get for output: /home/titan/skipm/emacs/pymacs hides /home/titan/skipm/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/pymacs /home/titan/skipm/emacs/python-mode hides /home/titan/frank/el/python-mode /home/titan/skipm/emacs/python-mode hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/python-modes/python-mode /home/titan/skipm/emacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vc/vc hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vc/vc /home/titan/skipm/emacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vc/vc-hooks hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/vc/vc-hooks /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/regexp-opt hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs-21.5-b28/lisp/regexp-opt /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/easy-mmode hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs-21.5-b28/lisp/easy-mmode /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/build/build-report hides /opt/app/xemacs-21.5.28/lib/xemacs-21.5-b28/lisp/build-report 8 Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found That is what I would expect, certainly for the vc package. If I explicitly load-file the vc/auto-autoloads.elc file it reports "Feature vc-autoloads already loaded".
