Configure autocomplete in emacs?

I've installed the auto-complete package in emacs from MELPA and I can enable it with M-x auto-complete-mode. I'm having some issues with configuration though, I've added the following lines to my .emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete-20140201.2101")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete-20140201.2101/dict")
(ac-config-default)

When I start emacs I get an error

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/user/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, popup

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

auto-complete requires popup and both are listed as installed if I list packages with M-x list-packages. Any suggestions on how I should do this?

A plain config like this should work:

(setq package-user-dir "~/.emacs.d/elpa/")
(package-initialize)

No need to specifically change load-path.
