Cannot get to work on OSX about emacs-starter-kit HOT 7 CLOSED

Try copying the contents of emacs-starter-kit to ~/.emacs.d. I think that's what we're supposed to do (worked on Ubuntu 8.10) but it's not explicitly clear in the docs ;0)

I've tried both methods but neither seem to work...

I've tried it on Mac OS X 10.4 and it works, so I am sorry I cannot offer any more advice on that issue :0(

I encountered the same problem as the original poster when I set up the starter kit. It appears that Aquamacs does not look in .emacs.d/ by default. If you want something that works out of the box, I recommend downloading from here: http://emacsformacosx.com/

If someone can provide instructions that work for Aquamacs, I will add them to the README. The Starter Kit is designed to work with GNU Emacs though.

After you've set up .emacs.d/ properly, you can create a one line .emacs file with: (load "~/.emacs.d/init.el"). Maybe in future updates Aquamacs will correctly check in the .emacs.d/ directory, but for now this hack works.

my Aquamacs worked just fine with .emacs.d, no .emacs needed. weird.
