Nix setup problem, ghcjs is not exposed? #59

$ ghcjs
ghcjs: command not found

Any ideas why the ghcjs is not exposed?

@spinus what OS are you running?

ali-abrar commented 8 years ago

This looks a lot like the issue we've seen in Linux Mint, explained here.

Hmm, I don't use bash, so I don't have any configuration files for it. I have profile file where I'm extending PATH. I will try to play with bash config and report here (probably next week)

I removed .profile and any other files to make sure variables are not changed etc. Didn't help.

When I try to reproduce try-reflex commands (I run two last commands), the PATH is not changed when I run nix-shell.

Finally I reinstalled my nixos and script is working. I'm not exactly sure why it is working now and was not before as it's almost the same configuration (this time I added binary cache for reflex). Maybe there was some packages in my user env installed ad-hoc which were colliding with ghcjs and try-reflex script was "failing" without any error message.
