How can I add additional package? about .spacemacs.d HOT 3 CLOSED

You need to define the config/init-cdlatex, config/init-org-brain, ... functions in the layer making a call to use-package, in addition to adding it to the config-packages variable, see outshine's setup for example.

The warning is telling you that the layer isn't owning the package, and no other layer does, so it doesn't get installed.

Thanks for your help! Yes following your instruction now I added the following:

(defun config/init-cdlatex ()
  (use-package cdlatex
    :after auctex org
    :init
    (progn
      (load "~/programming/emacs-lisp/texmathp.el")
      (load "~/programming/emacs-lisp/org-cdlatex-try-tab/org-cdlatex-try-tab.el")
      ;; the command =C- SHIFT TAB= for trigger cdtalx abbrev expansion in org-mode
      ;; This is my private setup.

      ;; enable CDLaTex minor-mode for entering math (equations, or symbols)
      (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex)
      )))

Now there is no more complaint against missing cdlatex. But I noticed that cdlatex needs texmathp.el, which is not a package. So I tried to directly load it in the init section, but it seems that it didn't work. I had to manually load it to make it available.

Another issue is that the last add-hook seemed didn't have the effect. I also had to manually enable the minor mode org-cdlatex-mode

Thanks again!

Actually, after I removed auctex in:afterclause, it all worked as expected now.
(Initially, I was hoping to install auctex in order to have texmathp, but it didn't work, and I solved the problem by just downloading a private copy of texmathp.el)
