I wrote the path in the .emacs file incorrectly.

Please check for spelling errors in the .emacs file.

EDIT: Keep in mind that UNIX paths are case sensitive. This has been the main source of errors for me so far.

If we look at the source custom-save-allin cus-edit.el, we find:

(defun custom-save-all ()
  "Save all customizations in `custom-file'."
  (when (and (null custom-file) init-file-had-error)
    (error "Cannot save customizations; init file was not fully loaded"))

, . emacs --debug-init, Emacs Lisp .
