ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms

Always check out the original article at http://www.oraclequirks.com for latest comments, fixes and updates.

ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms
This error is very similar to ORA-00980, this specific error is returned when the underlying object, bearing the same name as the synonym, is either renamed or dropped. At that point an attempt to resolve the name pointed to by the synonym only returns the synonym itself, resulting in a circular reference, hence the error message.

Refer to the aforementioned blog entry for applicable examples or see message translations for ORA-01775 and search additional resources.
