The old tramp recursive load

The old tramp recursive load

[Deniz Dogan]

Why does the recursive loading problem in tramp occur? What is the
definitive fix for it? How do I *really* turn off tramp-mode entirely?

I have tried to solve it with Tramp 2.2.0. A prerelease is contained in
Emacs 24.0.50.

Likely (setq tramp-mode nil) in your .emacs.

Best regards, Michael.

I use GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) of 2010-09-06 on 3249CTO.

I have this in my Emacs but still get the recursive load problem from
time to time. I can't tell exactly when it happens, but the last time
I think I was in a buffer with rcirc-mode and did ido-find-file.
Extremely frustrating.

That's great, I'll just upgrade now!

Thanks

I had a nasty version of this after upgrading my Aquamacs to the current version, 2.2: all attempts to use Dired failed with the "recursive load" error.  Upgrading to Emacs 24 wasn't really an option for me, since the current Aquamacs is wrapped around Emacs 23.3.

However, the following seems to be a fix in the meantime: load the Tramp file explicitly in .emacs.  In my case (getting the path from the error message in *Messages*):

(load-file "/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/net/tramp.elc")

How have you done the upgrade? Is there the (new) tramp-loaddefs.el,
which is generated during installation?

Best regards, Michael.
