what am i missing?

[yaxu]

That's strange. Could it be that you have more than one core of haskell and therefore ghci installed?

[davehorner]

Ya, strange stuff. all the ghci calls seem to go to this one in chocolatey.

I'm trying to use the tidalcycles vscode plugin I get this output: (i understand it would have no hope of working without this import working, but wanted to provide that detail too): Error: Error: write EPIPE Error: Error [ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED]: Cannot call write after a stream was destroyed

My lack of haskell knowledge is showing...

C:\working> which ghci /c/ProgramData/chocolatey/lib/ghc/tools/ghc-8.8.3/bin/ghci

where ghci

C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\ghc\tools\ghc-8.8.3\bin\ghci.exe

C:\working> which cabal /c/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/cabal

no ghci in wsl; I let win10 do its 30min search and it shows only the same ghci.

I'll keep playing with it; cabal thinks its there.

Which was a strange way to end the thing. cabal install Cabal cabal-install

Up to date
Copying 'cabal.exe'```

it again thinks it's up to date; but not really.
cabal --version
```cabal-install version 3.0.0.0
compiled using version 3.0.0.0 of the Cabal library

but it does lead to an interesting new output:
cabal new-install tidal --lib

In retrospect, cabal v1-install tidal might have worked..

But closing this for now, please reopen if it's still an issue

[dobke]

I am currently facing the same issues. Still having problems to set up my tidal cycles setup. SuperCollider seems to work fine, at least I am getting the output: listening to Tidal on port 57120 After initializing a new tidal-file in Atom i tried to boot the tidal package and get this: _t> * : error:

Could not find module `Sound.Tidal.Context’* It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package._

So I assume that tital was not installed correctly. Instead I tried to set up tidal with the stack stack install tidal seems to work, but still getting the `Sound.Tidal.Context’ error. Any ideas? thank you

[yaxu]

Did you try cabal v1-install tidal ? Or you can go into the tidalcycles package settings in atom to use the stack version you've installed.

Thank you for your fast response. cabal v1-install tidal dosn't work. I am still getting these network errors. But with the stack version I got around. Everything works perfectly so far Thank you again!

[maheshj01]

That means tidal is not installed try running

cabal update
cabal install tidal --lib

In case you do not have cabal install it using brew

brew install cabal-install

Following the above worked in my case
