So what's in your site-init file?

Do M-x locate-library <RET> site-start <RET>
Library is file /etc/emacs/site-start.el

to find the file and take a look at it. You can send it to me and I'll<= br> take a look, but if you feel like honing your skills, you can try your
hand at it. =C2=A0The basic idea is bisection: after copying the file to a<= br> safe place, you take half the file, throw it away and see if the problem persists. If it does you cut the remaining part again in half;
otherwise, you try the othe half.

Of course, you have to be careful about the cutting: don't cut in the middle of the function e.g. And "half" is just a manner of speaki= ng. If
you can throw large chunks of the file away and still get the problem,
then whatever remains is the culprit. Even if you don't understand why<= br> something is broken, then you have made the life of whoever follows up
on it much simpler.

In your case, you probably want to check any changes to load-path.

the file "/etc/emacs/site-start.el" is emp= ty... there are only comments. oO

the ascii export from org works if= starting emacs with "--no-site-file", and does not if this is mi= ssing.
