See if you have the file "hilit19.elc" or "hilit19.el" in you emacs/lisp
directory. In my system it is kept in "/usr/share/emacs/20.3/lisp/".

You should add the following code in your .emacs directory.

(load "hilit19")

This should do the work. If not try loading the hilit19 lisp code manually.

>From the emacs type
M-x load-library <RET>

Then type the path and name of the lisp code.
/usr/share/emacs/20.3/lisp/hilit19.elc  (or hilit19.el, which
                                                                   ever is
present).

then
M-x hilit-hilight-buffer

Hope it works.
