It doesn't seem to help, the problem still=20 exists. Here is what I found after messing around with different=20 configures: I tried tramp 2.1.9 - 2.1.13 with emacs 23, they all had problem with the= =20 symbolic link. I also tried several tramp 2.0.x versions, they had problem= =20 opening the remote file and generated some error messages. I guess they=20 don't work with emacs 23. I also tried to install emacs 22.1 in Ubuntu, which came with tramp 2.0.55= =20 pre-installed and that worked fine with remote symbolic link files. I also tried emacs 22.1 with the tramp 2.1.13 and that had the same=20 symbolic link problem. Not sure if it is the tramp's problem, or emacs 23, or both. I'd like to=20 use the snapshot emacs version 23 because I can use antialiased fonts=20 and that looked really nice. --Yang On Thu, 19 Jun 2008, Peter Dyballa wrote: > > Am 19.06.2008 um 09:56 schrieb Yang Zhang: > >> A while back, I posted an article here that the emacs on windows vista w= ith=20 >> tramp had the exact problem.
