This is a very old snapshot of Emacs 24. Why not use the latest
pretest instead? (However, I don't think this is the source of your
problems.)

If you type
C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET
do you see the contents of your .emacs file, or do you see an empty
buffer with a "(New file)" message in the echo area? If the latter,
you didn't put your .emacs where Emacs expects to find it.
If the above doesn't help, please describe where you tried to put your
.emacs.
