#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 dmercer@…): Replying to [ticket:29794 gorzarg@…]:
Any suggestions or fixes?
I saw this today (MacOS 10.6.7 + Aquamacs 23.3.1). I don't have a permanent fix, but this workaround works for me. Tramp is using the TMPDIR environment to build a path for the ssh control socket. On my system, TMPDIR is set to something that looks like: /var/folders/Ww/WwhMzsgCFW0-C433VCMqNE+++TI/-Tmp-/ which results in a path ssh thinks is too long. You can force Aquamacs to use a standard TMPDIR by starting it from the terminal like so: $ TMPDIR=/tmp open /Applications/Aquamacs.app -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29794#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
