Thank you, Noam and others who was helping me. Now it's clear that the
issue is not with my configs.
I'll try this installation method now
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html#macos.
I wasn't aware of different 'flavors' of Emacs for OS X and downloaded the
first I had met.

Appreciate your help.
