This Carbon Emacs seems to be a bit mis-configured, probably --prefix 
was not correctly set.

When Emacs launches it finds your .emacs sees that it has load files 
from the directory 
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp, that's *inside* 
the Carbon Emacs bundle, but this directory is not there (it's probably 
at it's usual place /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/site-lisp or 
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp).

There are a few ways to correct this:

./configure ... --prefix=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources

ln -s /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/site-lisp 
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources (you would need a few more 
of them!)

copy or move the misplaced software into the Carbon Emacs bundle

I'd recommend to re-configure and re-compile and re-install! If you do 
all this in Emacs you'll have buffers with logs of all this to check 
was has happened and what was installed where.
