I see, thank you. I am actually not interested in the source itself for now, I only attempted to get the emacs integration to work. I actually got notmuch via apt-get, and if I try to apt-get install notmuch-emacs, it says I have it already. So it seems I have notmuch-emacs installed, what I don't know is where to point emacs to for it to find this installation. Now emacs seems to have found them somehow. I had a system restart in between, maybe that's what fixed it. After examining my load-path, I saw that /usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/notmuch was added there. Who modified load-path, and how? I could see no environment variable about notmuch, maybe everything under site-lisp/ is added to load-path at each emacs start?
