  It's *not* a variable, but a function to be called with a negative
  argument to deactivate the feature.

  Well we'll proceed step by step:

  . Are you in a X window system ?

  . Try just M-x blink-cursor-mode RET, it should toggle the blinking
    state.

  . Try not to put the function in your .emacs, just for a test :
    Goto the *scratch* buffer and type
(blink-cursor-mode -1)
    then M-x eval-buffer RET

  . If everything of the previous worked, see if you don't already
    have the (blink-cursor-mode) call somewhere in your .emacs and be
    sure that you call it as a function.
