RE: Problem loading icicles.el after my .emacs is loaded

That's odd.  pp+.el on Emacs Wiki is a library I wrote, but it does not
contain any such text.  pp+.el just contains some minor enhancements to
standard library pp.el.

Icicles does do a soft require of pp+.el, that is, (require 'pp+ nil t), so
that you can pick up its version of `pp-eval-expression' if you happen to
have it. There is no problem or error if you don't have pp+.el.

Yes; pp+.el is optional.

It should also work with pp+.el. It sounds like your pp+.el file was not the
same - http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/pp%2b.el.

Glad to hear you fixed your problem - that's the main thing.
