Failed updating to 1.4.9 and Tidal doesn't run anymore

Hello Alex,

since my unsuccessful try to update to 1.4.9 Tidal Cycles doesn't run anymore. Atom reports:

Custom ghci path configured: ~/.ghcup/bin/ghci
Ghci command: /Users/Axel/.ghcup/bin/ghci

: error:

it was found in multiple packages: tidal-1.4.7 tidal-1.4.7

Variable not in scope: d1 :: t0 -> t

• Variable not in scope: sound :: [Char] -> t0

Maybe my problem is similar to the one [montoyamoraga] had.
Should I delete /Users/Axel/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default ?
And if yes, how?

(Profile - montoyamoraga - Tidal Club)
Mac OSX - new install / cannot start tidal on Mac OSX catalina

Yes this is an often seen bug in haskell/cabal. You should indeed delete that package environment file. You can do it from a terminal window with:

rm /Users/Axel/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default

I tried to do so at Terminal. But it seems that Tidal still does not work.

To be shure to have deleted I repeated the instruction.

Do I have to delete all and install TC completely new?

@yaxu: Ok. Now I got it. Obviously in some way i deleted to much. Installed TC 1.4.9 new again. And it works! :wink:
