This depends on how Emacs was configured. The initial load-path is
defined in epath.h or can be overridden by an environment variable
EMACSLOADPATH. The invocation
emacs -Q -nw --batch --eval '(message "%s" load-path)'
tells you what the load-path is before running any startup scripts (if
subdirs.el is existing in any of the initial load-path directories, then
any subdirectories should have been expanded already).
The standard setup should be looking for
…/$VERSION/site-lisp
…/site-lisp
…/$VERSION/lisp
…/$VERSION/leim (maybe)
in that order (first version specific site-lisp, then site-lisp, then
the lisp that came with that installation of Emacs). It could be
configured to use a different prefix for any site-lisp directories to
keep them separate from the installation.
HTH,
Achim.
