Re[2]: bbdb-initialize in .emacs
I'm trying to set up bbdb and am unclear on the process for the
bbdb package. The docs (/usr/share/doc/bbdb/README.Debian) say
that to enable bbdb support, I need to add a call to
bbdb-initialize in my .emacs. So I added
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
After doing that, M-x bbdb tells me "no match". A look at my
*Messages* buffer does not give any indication that bbdb is loaded
at all. After simplifying my .emacs until it contains only
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
I'm told
Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb-initialize
emacs --debug-init tells me
Signaling: (void-function bbdb-initialize)
(bbdb-initialize (quote gnus) (quote message))
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "~/.emacs")
load-with-code-conversion("/home/miller/.emacs" "~/.emacs" t t)
load("~/.emacs" t t)

I've got these packages installed: bbdb_2.3-2, emacs20_20.7-3,
gnus_5.8.3-9. Can anyone tell me how to use the Debian bbdb
package? Can anyone provide me with a stripped down .emacs that
contains only (working) bbdb initialization?
