There are two problems here. The first is that HOME isn't set when you
sudo. (sudo echo $HOME expands HOME under your user, not under root).
You can fix this by adding
Defaults always_set_home
to /etc/sudoers, or using "sudo -H".
The second problem is that Zile refuses to run without HOME set. This is
fixed in the version in unstable.
