Sorry, ignore this part. Somehow I completely forgot that the 1-loop
library of Package-X is loaded not immediately but during the first call
of PaXEvaluate.

So if you have already done some calculations with PaXEvaluate on a
running kernel, then

exp = PaXDiLog[2.7, 1] /. PaXDiLog -> X`DiLog

is sufficient. On a fresh kernel just call PaXEvaluate once (with any
input) and then it will work as well:

$LoadAddOns = {“FeynHelpers”};
«FeynCalc`
PaXEvaluate[1]
exp = PaXDiLog[2.7, 1] /. PaXDiLog -> X`DiLog

Cheers,
Vladyslav
