tramp & numberp

[Andrea Crotti]

Opening a connection to a virtual machina I've used until 10 minutes ago
I got this error below.

Now I don't get what the problem is, since all the files in the
directory written there don't appear to be strange.
What can make the function tramp-convert-file-attributes going so crazy?

I can add that other remote machines work perfectly fine, but on this
one everything I try to open I get the same error...

Ah great, has been fixed already.

But now I'm using the version shipped with emacs, and the newest I found
was a lot prior to that patch
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tramp/

And also there is only a cvs access, should I just patch it myself or
try to access to the last version of tramp?

Yes, that patch I've referred to was for Tramp 2.2. For Tramp 2.1.18
(bundled with Emacs 23.2), you might apply the following patch:

And another question, how should I apply this patch in the best way?  I
mean I have the tramp.el.gz file that I can modify also from emacs but
can I do that automatically since it's also compressed?

As I thought, now I modified the tramp.el.gz and saved with the right
patch, everything was working but restarting emacs I have again the same
problem, so I guess it's not really the way to go...

Have you byte-compiled the file?

Try "M-x locate-library RET tramp RET" in order to see which file is
used.

If you didn't recompile the file, the .elc version might well get loaded in
preference next time around, and your changes wouldn't show up...

        Daniel

That almost certainly isn't your problem, but just in case someone may as well
ask the "is it plugged in" question. :)

You must decompress it first. Then you could try Tools -> Apply Patch ->
To a File.

Do not forget to byte-compile it afterwards.

Yes thanks now it's finally fine.

Still it would be good to use the newer version of tramp in general when
I'll be able to compile it.
Am I the only one then? (I tried today on another totally independent
linux machine and same result)...

It works for me. And there are also other users who have tried it
already.

Have you done a completely new installation on that Linux machine? No
mounted home directories or alike? I'm still curious, why on your Linux
machine your home directory did look like the one on your MacOS machine.

Best regards, Michael.

I do not know how this mirror works. However, Tramp 2.2 (where this
version belongs to) has seen changes in the Makefile in order to
generate tramp-loaddefs.el. Maybe it is sufficient for you to apply "make".

Mm no still doesn't work unfortunately.
That mirror is an automatic importation from CVS, so it should not make
any difference...

How did you build Tramp? The usual way is

# autoconf; ./configure; make

Yes sure exactly what I did.
I remembered some months ago I compiled tramp without problems, so
unless my osx got crazy there is something else (I'm not 100% sure
that the git mirror is the same, but from the logs it looks like)...

Does your lisp/Makefile contains a rule about tramp-loaddefs.el? Does
the make call generates this file?

OK, your Tramp installation is at /Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/tramp.

> Opening output file: no such file or directory, /Users/lstoll/tmp/emacs-23.2/lisp/tramp-loaddefs.el

Why does Emacs tries to write at /Users/lstoll/tmp/emacs-23.2/lisp/? It
shall write at the same directory /Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/tramp.

Have you been in the Tramp install directory? Ie., have you done

# cd /Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/tramp

Are there any symbolic links between those directories?

Best regards, Michael.

Than I'm lost. You could try with make --debug, but I don't expect too
much information from ...

Anybody else having this trouble with Tramp 2.2?

Best regards, Michael.

Yes me too :)
But why there is a directory
tramp/lisp
and a directory
tramp2?

Also in tramp/lisp there is version 2.20-pre and in the other the CVS
id.
The thing I really don't get is where the hell this "lstoll" comes from,
it's not a user at all in my system and it's not anywhere in the
makefiles.

There must be some call that doesn't work very nicely on the mac and
gives crazy results.

That is the directory containing Tramp's lisp files.

Ignore it. These are old files; the "tramp2" approach (which was a
rewriting of Tramp) is not followed anymore.

I hope you are speaking about version 2.2.0-pre.

I've checked the Makefile, again. I have the impression, that the
configure call did a wrong expansion of @abs_builddir@. Could you,
please, adapt the setting in Makefile (line 36) by

builddir        = /Users/andrea/Documents/pycon/tramp/lisp

Afterwards, you must call "make" again.

Best regards, Michael.

The bad news is that that variable is already correct, and nonetheless I
get the same error.

And I also tried on a linux 64 machine and it goes also wrong (another
path though).

It might be here the problem

but it's really strange that only to me it's not working, I might be
doing something wrong but.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cd tramp
autoconf
./configure --with-contrib
make
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

should not be too complicated right?

Could you, please, send me both files configure and lisp/Makefile?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.

Ok also on the source got from
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/tramp co .

I get the same error, maybe some problems with OSX?
