Oops, I forgot about this one. mapc is defined in the "cl" package, so
what you need is a "require", like this:

(require 'cl)

(mapc (lambda (x)
       (pushnew (expand-file-name x) load-path))
                (list "~/emacs"
                      "~/emacs/xslt-process-2.0/lisp"
                      "~/emacs/elib-1.0"
                      "~/emacs/speedbar-0.14beta1"))

Or you can use Carsten's suggestion too, and not use mapc and pushnew
at all.
