Hi,


thanks pointing at that.

Think it's just an error in your configuration,

As nxml-mode is installed already, there is no need to load this file.

Just do M-x nxml-mode resp. (require 'nxml-mode)

BTW Emacs doesn't see this file because it's zipped probably.

Should exist as "nxml-mode.el.gz"

In cases, you want to install some new stuff,
AFAIU the recommended way to add mode-files is adding it's directory to 
Eamcs' load-path and afterwards require it:

(add-to-list 'load-path "MODE-DIRECTORY")
(require 'MY_NEW_MODE')
