in general, you want to do

(package-initialize)

first before trying to do any config for packages from the package
system.

See update here, bottom:

〈Emacs 24 Package System Problems〉
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_package_system_problem.html

also, i recommend using MELPA.

〈A Guide on Emacs 24 Package System〉
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_package_system.html

command-frequency is obsolete. New is keyfreq.el. Please see bottom:

〈Emacs's Command Frequency〉
