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!

If you mean `M-x package-list-packages RET' with package manager, which

seems likely given the ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ path below, then this should
happen automatically.

instead of some outdated snapshot?
Bye,

Not recursively, but you can do this:
(let ((default-directory "~/emacs.d/elpa"))
(normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))
