[SOLVED] zsh: command not found: promptinit / prompt

Hi!

I try to switch to zsh but zsh fails to find the promptinit and prompt command.

This is my .zshrc

# Lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
HISTFILE=~/.histfile
HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=1000
bindkey -e
# End of lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
# The following lines were added by compinstall
zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/freddy/.zshrc'

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
# End of lines added by compinstall

promptinit
prompt walters

When I open a terminal in X or login on TTY I get the two errors

/home/freddy/.zshrc:14: command not found: promptinit
/home/freddy/.zshrc:15: command not found: prompt

What am I doing wrong?

Ok, this is embarrassing. I thought I double-checked...
