Okay.  That seems to be the problem.  Since deleting the tramp2
directory under site-lisp, I don't have any tramp files anymore.  It
looks like I'm starting over with tramp.

What/which tramp version should I use?  I don't remember where I got the
tramp2 tarball, just that I got it fairly recently... within the past
couple of months.  I'm running Suse 9.3 Pro and would prefer an
appropriate RPM so that the install data is put into the RPM database. 
Failing such a package, I wouldn't be averse to using the old-style
tarred-up package.

When I compiled the source, the resulting code appeared under the subdir
where the tarball was unpacked to (under a user home directory).  Since
it wasn't going to run from there, I moved it manually to under
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/.
