Hi. I just followed the instructions to install emacs24 via homebrew and prelude and got the following error when running 'emacs --debug-init'

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "package")
require(package)

I installed emacs and prelude doing the following:

$ brew install emacs --cocoa --use-git-head --HEAD
$ cp -r /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD/Emacs.app /Applications/
$ sudo rm /usr/bin/emacs
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/emacs
$ curl -L https://github.com/bbatsov/emacs-prelude/raw/master/utils/installer.sh | sh

Any ideas?

Thanks
