**OS**: macOS 12.0.1
**Thrown From**: [tidalcycles](ssh://git@github.com/tidalcycles/atom-tidalcycles) package 3.16.17

### Stack Trace

So, i have to use another interpeter (vim tidal) and it works fine. Feel free to contact me for any doubts about the bug. Cheers

Hi, can you report the output from the tidalcycles console?

[falanges]

I guess you are asking for this (sorry if it's not)

Choose ghc base path
 * custom path configured
Ghci command: /opt/homebrew/bin/ghci
Ghc-pkg command: /opt/homebrew/bin/ghc-pkg
Choose BootTidal.hs path
 * custom path configured
 * load BootTidal.hs from /Users/myUser/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/
t> 
Loaded package environment from /Users/myUser/.ghc/aarch64-darwin-8.10.7/environments/default
t> 

[ndr-brt]

What have you configured as "BootTidal path"? Because from the console log seems like you configured /Users/myUser/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/, that's wrong for sure because that config should point to a valid BootTidal.hs file, and not to a folder.

[falanges]

Yes of course, the BootTidal.hs is into that path. In fact, the output confirm tha t BootTidal.hs are loaded from path. That file contains the following content (i didn't modify nothing):

I mean, you have to specify the path with the filename, not just the folder:

/Users/myUser/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/BootTidal.hs

Try to set that and let me know

[falanges]

Solved! thanks, its all my own mistake.
