vimproc#get_command_name: File "ghc-mod" is not found.

[mrt181]

I have installed spf13 vim, installed ghc-mod with cabal and compiled vimproc for cygwin.

I am running on Windows 7 64 with cygwin64 1.7.28.

When I open a haskell source file I get this error message: Error executing "function ghcmod#util#check_version..vimproc#system..139_system..vimproc#pgroup_open..139_pgroup_open..vimproc#plineopen3..139_plineopen..139_convert_args..vimproc#get_command_name": Line 15: E605: Not caught exception: vimproc#get_command_name: File "ghc-mod" is not found.

Where did you install ghc-mod to? what is the output of where ghc-mod on the command line? What is the output of :!echo %PATH% in vim?

[mrt181]

this is the output

$ where ghc-mod
C:\Users\martin\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin\ghc-mod.exe

In vim

:!echo %PATH%
E499: Empty directory name for % or #, only works with ":p:h"

Solved. This was the problem. Setting fstab to

none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

removes the need to enter a prefix when trying to access the mounted virtual drives. You can than navigate around your drives like that

$ cd /c/Users
$ pwd
/c/Users

he default setting in cygwin is

none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

Reverting back to the default setting you now need to do this to navigate around

$ cd /cygdrive/c/Users
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Users

With the prefix vimproc works again. Thank you see also: https://github.com/eagletmt/ghcmod-vim/issues/42#issuecomment-34744131
