rlwrap installed; dust does not start #15

Closed mathpunk closed 9 years ago

mathpunk commented 9 years ago

I read issue #2 and the suggestion was to install rlwrap. I have rlwrap installed (on Debian), and yet starting dust repl gives me instructions on the usage of rlwrap. Dust does appear on my path.

Can't reproduce that locally, can you send the exact output you get?

It sounds a bit as if your rlwrap doesn't support the flags we use, or something like that. Which version of rlwrap do you have installed?

mathpunk commented 9 years ago

It's version 0.41. The output is not very useful: "Usage: rlwrap [options] command ..." followed by a menu of options and the project website. Note that it's been a couple of weeks since I built pixie.

Hm, and ./examples/hello-world.pxi gets me

bash: ./hello-world.pxi: ./pixie-vm: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

so maybe I do have some path issues...?

heyLu commented 9 years ago

It does sound like path issues, yes. Try the following things:

in your pixie checkout, run ./pixie-vm. it should start the repl
ensure that pixie-vm and dust are linked to somewhere in your $PATH, as described here
maybe compile pixie again if it doesn't help

mathpunk commented 9 years ago

I missed the bit about linking pixie-vm and that did the trick. Thanks for your help.

No problem, have fun! :)
