For some reason my .emacs file is being ignored. The environment variable for HOME is reporting correctly as /home/ paul. That is where I have placed my .emacs file. I have tried running using --debug-init and it reports no errors. I have evaluated every line in the file in turn and they all work fine. It is as if it's running emacs -q, but there are NO aliases set or scripts which could be running instead. Close to my wits' end. Can you help? ThanksAdditional information - running M-x load-file ~/.emacs loads the init file perfectly, it just doesn't load when I start emacs.Do you mean that if you start with emacs -Q then the M-x load-file ~/.emacs works?

No, I just srart with emacs but loading the ~/.emacs file manually sets the config up ok.
If you start with emacs instead of emacs -Qthen there is the possibility that something in your site-start.el or default.el changes HOME.
