How do I display the menu-bar in emacs every time I start up?

I put this in my .emacs file:

(custom-set-variables                                                                          
 '(gud-gdb-command-name "gdb --annotate=1")
 '(large-file-warning-threshold nil)
 '(menu-bar-mode t)
 '(shell-dirtrack-verbose nil))
(custom-set-faces                                                                         
 )
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)

Note the (menu-bar-mode t). When I fire up emacs, I have to M-x menu-bar-mode to get a menu bar. I am running GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (mac-apple-darwin, Carbon Version 1.6.0)

Solution

You should consider upgrading to the latest GNU Emacs:
