Re: Unable to open or save remote files using Tramp.

[Santosh Navale]

Hi Michael,

Do I need to point emacs to the local tramp by setting load-path? The INSTALL in the tar package says 'make install' will install the files in the corresponding location (/usr/local/...). I am a bit confused. Can you clarify.


Thanks
Santosh

Usually, your distribution (GNU/Linux?) offers also source packages,
which you could use.

Maybe the best is to install Tramp 2.2 in parallel, and let the
load-path point to this. Take <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tramp/tramp-2.2.1.tar.gz>
and follow the instructions in INSTALL (don't forget to patch tramp.el :-)
