Below paragraph is in 31.8 Libraries of Lisp Code for Emacs of Emacs Manual.
When an .el file is in one of load-path, do I need to load it in .emacs to use it ?
I feel the meaning of the below paragragh is not clear.
Thanks
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Often you do not have to give any command to load a library, because the commands defined in the library are set up to "autoload" that library. Trying to run any of those commands calls `load' to load the
library; this replaces the autoload definitions with the real ones from the library. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/23.0.96/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
