load-path, howto

[Rich E]

Hi,

I am just deciding to keep my extra emacs scripts locally, in .emacs.d/scripts, so they do not disappear when I reinstall.  

I have added this line to my .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/r/emacs.d/scripts")

and:
(require 'doxymacs)


in there, I have:
doxymacs.el    doxymacs.elc   xml-parse.el   xml-parse.elc 

Yet, I still get the error that doxymacs is not found.  What am I missing?

regards,
Rich
