Thanks for putting attention.

I know it is not read because init.el is not loaded, I can check my
variables and I know it is not loaded. 

How I know it is not loaded?

For example I have initial-scratch-message and I don't see it. For
example I don't see my customized scratch buffer but default Emacs
buffer. For example Emacs starts too fast.

I do not have ~/.emacs.el or ~/.emacs 

I only have directoy ~/.emacs/

and inside is init.el

I did not change nothing, except that I built newest development
version of Emacs and instead of Lucid, my common toolkit, I came into
Gtk one. That is the only change I know.

emasc --debug-init does not give me any errors, nothing.

What I currently do, I load Emacs, then manually load init.el to get
my configuration.

Is there anyway for me to understand why is init.el not loaded?
