It seems as though my init.el file has disappeared. I can't open it in
emacs due to the error from the bad coding system. I can't find
the .el file using either cygwin or windows. I tried reinstalling but
predictably that didn't work. Is there any way that I can either find
and delete this init file or is there any way I can load using the -q
option through windows? I'm not using the command line since my cygwin
install doesn't seem to like the tar.gz file that I tried to use
before giving up and getting the windows .zip.
Just start Emacs with
emacs -Q
(note the uppercase Q). Then in Emacs do
C-x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.el
to try to open the file. Or you can do
M-: (file-truename "~/.emacs.d/init.el")
to see where it is.
I can't open the program using the command line for some reason. I
tried the "emacs -q" command in both cygwin and dos and get the
following error:
ndoyle@CMAXP /cygdrive/c/emacs/emacs-22.1/bin
$ emacs -q
bash: emacs: command not found
