Snack - file or directory doesn't exist #131

Closed vanceism7 closed 4 years ago

vanceism7 commented 4 years ago

Setup dante (for spacemacs) using the instructions listed here: https://www.fosskers.ca/blog/nix-en.html#org3819c30

Seems like dante installed ok, but when dante is invoked, it spits out this error in the messages buffer

Dante: Starting GHCi: snack ghci
Error while checking syntax automatically: (file-missing "Searching for program" "No such file or directory" "snack")

Glancing through the PRs, it looked like snack was just integrated into dante's setup. Is there something extra that needs to happen to get snack installed during dante's installation?

So, turns out (as the error said), you just need to install snack and this error goes away. I'll leave a link here for it: https://github.com/nmattia/snack

Hi, apologies for digging out this closed issue. I just ran into the same problem (Emacs/macOS), and was able to solve it by deleting an older version of dante on the package-list-packages (it was listed as an dependency) and then reinstalling it. Thus it is not required to manually install snack using nix.

I haven't used the mac for nearly a year and was updating packages on my Emacs when running into this problem. Hope it might be helpful to those in a similar situation.
