Emacspeak discussion list

[Robert Melton <lists AT robertmelton.com>]

Again, that codepath has not changed, did you possibly install a new version 
of emacs or make other system changes? 

The way it detects where emacspeak is by running the emacspeak binary if it 
finds one, else the emacs binary and then it runs the following lisp code:

(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs.el"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.emacs.d/init.el"))
(ignore-errors
  (load "~/.config/emacs/init.el"))
(print emacspeak-directory)

So, that appears to be returning something incorrect on your system?
