Configure the package manager to sync with `load-path

[Avery Chan]

I have the package manager download packages but I'm having to set my load path to each of the individually downloaded packages. Is there a way to have my load-path set so that I don't have to manually configure my .emacs file each time?

For example:

I install color-themes via the package manager. It is installed at the following path:

/Users/achan/.emacs.d/elpa/color-theme-6.5.5/

In order to successfully add:

(require 'color-theme)

to my .emacs file, I need to add-on

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/color-theme-20080305.834")                                                                  

for each package that I install. Is there a way to set load-path to recursively scan so I don't have to do this?

Thanks!
