Yes, I did a 'make install' in ~/share/emacs/lisp, which was already in my load 
path...

This fails with the same error. Maybe the problem is in the build;
I had to resort to --with-contrib or I  get:

./configure --with-lispdir=/home/user/share/emacs/lisp 
--datarootdir=${HOME}/share/emacs
configure: Tramp 2.2.11-pre
checking for gmake... no
checking for make... make
checking for reasonable make version... ok
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for emacs... yes
checking for emacs flavor... emacs
checking for emacs gvfs support... yes
checking for emacs gateway support... yes
checking for emacs version... ok
checking for base64.el... ok
checking for format-spec.el... not found
configure: error: Use --with-contrib for implementation supplied with Tramp

The missing function is in socks.el, which is in the correct path.

When I issue a 'M-x load-library' 'socks.el' I get a step further, but now it 
says

Tramp: Opening connection for bleek.nikhef.nl using ssh...failed
