Yes, probably. delete-line is not in a standard Emacs
install. At least not in mine (21.3).

Try this:

1. Put cursor somewhere on a line
2. C-x (
3. C-a
4. C-k
5. C-x )

Now you have recorded a macro that you can give a name:

6. M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET my-kill-line RET

Insert the macro definition in your .emacs file by opening
.emacs and going to the end of the buffer:

7. insert-kbd-macro RET my-kill-line RET

Bind the new macro using the method you tried before.
