${HOME}/.rational-emacs is ignored during startup

[ingorichter]

Yes, I'm on a Mac. And you were correct about the ${HOME}/.config/rational-emacs. Must have been created when I first tried it out. After removing it, my ${HOME}/.rational-emacs dir is found.
Thank you for your help. I'll close the issue

Thanks for the report! @jeffbowman do you mind taking a look?

[jeffbowman]

Yep, I'll look into this. More than likely, this is an artifact left over from work between versions, some people were helping testing this earlier were seeing this kind of thing, but they were pulling directly from my repo for testing purposes. If there is nothing in the ${HOME}/.config/rational-emacs folder, you could try deleting it and see if that picks up the correct folder.

@ingorichter Can you please answer a few of these questions so I can try to replicate the problem:

1. I assume you are on Linux or Mac, is that correct?
2. Are you using chemacs2?
3. Is XDG_CONFIG_HOME defined on your system, and if so, what is it's value?
4. Have your tried setting RATIONAL_EMACS_HOME to ${HOME}/.rational-emacs?
