error: Required feature `init-local' was not provided

I get the below error at load time. Strange thing is that I do have init-local.el in ../lisp

The file does load as the keybinding defined in that file are active upon load.

What could be the issue?

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading /home/XXXX/.emacs.d/init.el': error: Required featureinit-local' was not provided

You probably created an init-local.el file, but forgot to include a (provide 'init-local) statement in it as directed.

That will do it.

Great!
