I currently have the same configuration on another machine,= which I have been using for several years, and currently works fine. My home environment variable is Z:\ within emacs, I can determine that th= is is what emacs believes is home (getenv "home") evaluates to z:\\. Emacs knows the correct location of my user initialization file: user-init-file is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is "z:/.emacs" My load path, which fits my directory structure, is: load-path is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is ("/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp"= "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/site-lisp" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp" "z= :/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/vc" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/url= " "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/textmodes" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24= .5/lisp/progmodes" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/play" "z:/gs/emacs/sh= are/emacs/24.5/lisp/org" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/nxml" "z:/gs/em= acs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/net" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/mh-e" "z:= /gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/mail" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/le= im" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/language" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/2= 4.5/lisp/international" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/gnus" "z:/gs/ema= cs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/eshell" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/erc" "z= :/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/emulation" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/l= isp/emacs-parallel" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/emacs-lisp" "z:/gs/e= macs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/cedet" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/calend= ar" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/calc" "z:/gs/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/= lisp/obsolete") When I invoke emacs with: emacs -debug-init: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "no such = file or directory" "auto-show") require(auto-show) eval-buffer(# nil "z:/.emacs" nil t) ; Reading at buffer= position 734 load-with-code-conversion("z:/.emacs" "z:/.emacs" t t) load("~/.emacs" t t) #[0 " \205\262 it does not seem to be able to find it. I tried copying over my old version from my other machine (version 22.3.1) = and have the same problem, so it does not seem to be version related. Believe it or not, I am having similar problems on the Mac/unix side, but t= hat is for another day. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Gerard Smits
