I'm trying to configure a remote path when using tramp. I have added (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/root/.cargo/bin") to my init.el
I get the following error:
Symbol's value as variable is void: tramp-remote-path
The tramp docs suggest this is the correct pattern: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/tramp/Remote-programs.html
tramp-version is 2.4.3.27.1
Emacs version is: GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin20.3.0, NS appkit-2022.30 Version 11.2.1 (Build 20D74)) of 2021-03-07
I can do apropos-user-option tramp-remote-path and find it in the configuration options.
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/root/.cargo/bin). If the typo is in the post, then you can modifytramp-remote-pathnested in(with-eval-after-load "tramp" (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path "/root/.cargo/bin")). – Swarnendu Biswas Nov 12 '21 at 17:10[quote], to find various questions that amount to the same thing: not quoting an arg value that needs to be quoted. In this case,C-h f add-to-listis your friend, telling you that it's a function (functions eval their args), and it needs a symbol that's a variable (with a list value) as its first arg. – Drew Nov 12 '21 at 17:31
