#29794: emacs-app @23.3_0 Problem using tramp in emacs.app: "ControlPath too long" -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: gorzarg@… | Owner: css@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: emacs-app -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by gorzarg@…): You used the default Mac OS emacs (i.e. /usr/bin/emacs)? I used emacs.app (from MacPorts) to do the byte-compilations, and it worked okay. I also have (auto-compression-mode t) in my .emacs file to edit compressed files on the fly (you can also do M-x auto-compression-mode). Hope that helps any other users with problems with tramp. Replying to [comment:6 yaroslavvb@…]:
I got same error and gorzag's solution seems to work.
The only snag was with the the byte compilation part using official Emacs for MacOS build (23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple- appkit-1038.35)) -- tramp.el gives error on (require 'tramp-compat) -- "Cannot open load file: tramp-compat". I got around this by deleting tramp.elc and tramp-compat.elc, unzipping tramp and tramp-compat, and doing gorzarg's modification in tramp-compat.el.
