title: Emacs: Where to put the psvn.el file?
body: <p>I am totally new to emacs and is starting to learn how to use it effectively.</p>
  
  <p>The first thing I wanna use is the svn mode. </p>
  
  <p>I downloaded psvn.el and put it in the ~/.emacs.d directory</p>
  
  <p>Then following the instruction in the comment part of the psvn.el file, I put this line </p>
  
  <pre><code>(require 'psvn)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Into the .emacs file</p>
  
  <p>This is my current .emacs file</p>
  
  <pre><code>(custom-set-variables
    ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
    ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
    ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
    ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
   '(inhibit-startup-screen t))
  (custom-set-faces
    ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
    ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
    ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
    ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
   )
  
  (require 'psvn)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I starts emacs, I got this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>An error has occurred while loading `/home/akong/.emacs':
  
  File error: "Cannot open load file", "psvn"
  
  To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
  of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
  Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error
  backtrace

  <p>Did I put the psvn.el in a wrong location? </p>
  
  <p>I am using cygwin + WinXP</p>
