I'm attempting to make Emacs.app my default installation. I read

What I've done so far is to `ln -s
/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs ~/.bin/emacs`
where `~/.bin` is on my $PATH. Unfortunately, when I run this, I get
the following error:

Odd. Those directories have of course been cleaned up after the
build; Emacs shouldn't be referring to them.
Cannot open load file: encoded-kb
What's even stranger is that if I actually run
`/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs` directly, it
works exactly as I want it to.
Anyway, ideas? Thanks in advance!
If all you're trying to have happen is for Emacs.app to open when you
type "emacs" in the Terminal, then you can create an alias in
your .bashrc:
alias emacs='open -a "/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app"'
