Actually, the default is #0. The reason the code did not work is
because, as I stated earlier, the ways of calling overrides has
changed and so will not work unless you have upgraded to the latest
stable version.

I suspect that you had installed 2.14.2 via ubuntu's apt-get
mechanism, which placed all the files in their correct location.
Manual installations, via the .sh script, will not place certain
files, such as the .el or .info files, where you might wish them.
Please have a look at this thread:

The last message of the thread should answer your questions. The
directory in view is either lisp or site-lisp.

I hope this helps.
