Yes, I do. I do have the emacs version, so that wasn't the problem. For others
that might be in the same situation, 
EDITOR=emacs;export EDITOR
VISUAL=emacs;export VISUAL
FCEDIT=emacs;export FCEDIT

in your .profile does the trick. It's probably the FCEDIT that does the trick.
Also if the shell is already started 'set -o emacs' turns it on immediatly.
Thanks to everyone responding!
