Hi Juri.

Compilation started at Mon Dec  9 05:49:33

echo $TERM
ansi

Compilation finished at Mon Dec  9 05:49:34

It seems my snippet is not working then:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn (setq comint-terminfo-terminal "ansi") (require
'compile)(add-to-list 'compilation-environment "TERM=dumb") (require
'tramp)(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-process-environment "TERM=dumb"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Same case for me.

This workaround works for me. Actually IMO It should not be necessary to
restart emacs. after customizing tramp-remote-process-environment.

Thanks for the workaround. Best Regards
