Did you adapt load-path accordongly?

I have installed Emacs 24.3 from Ubuntu 14.10. No problem with that:

# emacs24 -Q -L ~/src/tramp/lisp '/socks:localhost#2020|ssh:myhost:'

However, this is painful slow. Using recent Emacs 25.0.50 runs much
faster. Even Emacs 24.4 shall run faster, haven't checked.
