Bruno,
With the common you told me I reach che 972 /M-g c 972) and I found this:

;;;;;;Org mode configuration
 Enable Org mode
(require ‘org)

Could be this the error?

Now I’ve erased the two ;; save init.el and restart emacs, but now I obtain:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/Users/renatopontefice/.emacs.d/init.el’:

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with

What’s now…

No, no: you have to put (at least one) ; in front of "Enable".

Thing is: a semicolon marks a comment (so Emacs doesn't try to read
it as a program), and this line "Enable Org mode" is meant as a
comment. The mark is missing.

The whole thing should look like this:

;;;;;;Org mode configuration
;; Enable Org mode
(require ‘org)

(actually it doesn't matter how many ; are in front of Enable, but
two would correspond to the convention).

Cheers

Ok, I’ve reinserted the line you send me, but now, the error 972 ia disappeared, but I have this error:

Renato, adding to what Tomas and Bruno have explained to you very well,
you have another case in the init that you sent me by mail. Notice the
third line here:

------------------
;; Make Org mode work with files ending in .org
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
The above is the default in recent emacsen
(require 'org)
(setq org-log-done t)
------------------

Emacs will understand The line that begins "The above is the..." as
code, and it is not code but a comment to the code. Therefore, you must
protect that line with an escape character, which in Elisp is (at least)
one ";" (as Tomas explained to you):

;; Make Org mode work with files ending in .org
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
;; The above is the default in recent emacsen
(require 'org)
(setq org-log-done t)

And you also have another case, towards the end:

---------------------
(custom-set-variables
 ;;custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;;If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;; '(package-selected-packages '(org-contacts frame-tabs ebdb)))
::(custom-set-faces
;;  custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;;)
--------------------

The first line (custom-set-variables) is the beginning of a code that is
commented out (= protected, so that Emacs doesn't read it). This line
should also be commented out (protected), with ;. Otherwise Emacs will
run into a code that starts but doesn't have a resolution.

If you fix that and the line that starts with "Enable", you should no
longer have errors in your init.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

It's 'org not ‘org. Notice the difference between the quotes[1]. (Did you
modify that part? It was correct before).

Perhaps it was Google (through gmail) who modified it. They do that kind
of things. We don't know.

@Renato: it seems your init.el is badly mangled. Please, go through it
and look for pieces of private information. If there are any, remove
them and post the rest for us to see (this has been suggested a couple
of times). That will be a lot quicker than to chase every single bug
in the dark.

Cheers

OK, below is your file, each line preceded by >, as is usual

This "Enable Org mode" has to be preceded by a semicolon,
like so:

  ;; Enable Org mode

(we had this one already)

> (require 'org)

This one is actually unnecessary, because it is done again a couple
of lines below. But it should be harmless.

This one should be commented out, like the "Enable..." above:

  ;; The above is...

The above should be commented out, since the rest of the expression
is commented out, too. Otherwise you get unbalanced parentheses.
Change the above line to this:

  ;; (custom-set-variables

>  ;;custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
>  ;;If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.

With these changes the file parses successfully in "my" Emacs.

Hope that helps

Hi Renato,

I've uploaded a version with some fixes of your init.el to:

  https://0x0.st/oYcy.txt

I just added comment signs at the beginning of some lines, and I used
TAB in most lines to make Emacs indent - i.e., position - them
correctly. Here is a screenshot of how my fixed version of your
init.el looks in Emacs with the colors that I use:

  https://i.ibb.co/4J2T6VQ/sshot.png

Note that all comments appear in brown.

My favorite elisp tutorial is the second link below:
