Hrm. What happens when you execute lfetool -x and then re-run lfetool repl?

FYI: note that make repl will (should...) start up the LFE REPL and make shell will start up the Erlang shell.

Thanks. That's the trick. To setup lfetool I followed this: https://github.com/lfe/lfetool#stable

Should we close the issue?

Hrm. This keeps biting people ... I think some part of lfetool Bash support broke a tiny bit a while ago: its supposed to run lfetool -x for you when you try to use the REPL for the first time, so that when you run it again, it has extracted itself and just works. But, as we can see, it's not (for everyone, anyway).

So I think that I'll just change it to extract itself upon install, end of story. It's mostly to save space on github in the repo, really.

Long story short: let's keep this ticket open for now, and I'll close it when I've updated lfetool to self-extract upon download/install.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ohhhh, that's what I think is happening: some people aren't sudo chown'ing lfetool after install, so it can't self-extract.

I'll go ahead and fix it to self-extract, but also update the instructions to basically say: "always install with sudo and always chown to $USER" ... then we should have more consistency across the community (and with bug reports).

Thanks again :-)
