tramp recursive load

tramp recursive load

There is some discussion of this problem in May 2011, but it wasn't helpful
to me.

I'm trying to use emacs, running on a Windows machine to edit files on a
remote Linux machine, using tramp.  Using v. 23.1.1 from my laptop, which
has Windows 7 professional 32 bit, everything is fine.

Using 23.1.1 or other recent emacs versions from a virtual Windows 7
Enterprise (SP 1) 32 bit machine, I get the "recursive load" error.

 

The command I'm trying to run is /plink:<user>@<ip-address><:/home/<user>,
which should get me into dired on the remote machine.

 

It looks as though requiring tramp loads tramp.el, which in turn requires
tramp-cmds, which in turn requires tramp.  I'm guessing the fact that
tramp-cmds is loaded by eval-after-load is supposed to make this work out
right, but something goes wrong.

 

I also get the problem on 23.4, and there isn't a later version for Windows.
I've also tried lots of other variants, to no avail.

 

I have no idea why Windows 7 Pro 32 doesn't have the problem, but Windows 7
Enterprise 32 does.

 

I don't think this is a plink problem.

 

I've also tried requiring 'tramp in my .emacs file, and manually loading
tramp or tramp-cmds.  On occasion, I've gotten it to work (even on Windows
Enterprise) but then I can't reproduce it.  I'd be happy with a work-around,
even if I have to do some rigmarole when I start emacs.

I'm sorry that you are plagued with this problem. In the upcoming Emacs
24, this problem ought to be solved. If you do not want to jump to that
pretest version, you might consider downloading the recent Tramp 2.2.4.

What Tramp related settings do you use? For me, a simple

  (require 'tramp)

did the job.
