Hi John!

My conjecture is that something is wrong with the path to the elisp 
package. I suggest you check two things. First, the path to the  
package that you have in your .emacs, then, the real path where the
package is actually installed (have a look at the color-themes.ebuild
file). The path should be the same in both cases.

>From what you wrote, your emacs doesn't seem to get the path to
the package in the first case and picks the correct path in the
second.
