@shancat Erlang cannot find the elixir compiled files. Are you compiling from source or using a precompiled package? Make sure $PATH is correct.

[ghost]

Precompiled Erlang & Elixir. Both are in PATH -- I checked and I am running iex and erl from a completely different directory.

Thanks @shancat! Are you running on cygwin or regular windows shell? Also, can you try to run "iex.bat" to verify it is running the windows version and not the unix one?

Also, can anyone running Windows (/cc @ericmj @ToJans) help us very verify we didn't screw it up in the previous release? :)

[ghost]

Plain ol' Windows. Same result with iex.bat. Sorry for the lack of any good
information

[josevalim]

@shancat That's ok. You could try an older precompiled binary and let us know if it works, that would at least help us know if it is a regression or not. Btw, can you post a link from where you downloaded them?

[ghost]

v0.11.0 Precompiled (zip) https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/releases/
Windows 64 bit binary file http://www.erlang.org/download.html

v.0.10.3 works.

[ToJans]

I tried the pre-compiled zip, and it works on my machine 😉. Which version of Erlang are you using?

To find this out, open a command window and type the following:

erl -eval "io:format(\"~p~n\", [erlang:system_info(otp_release)])." -eval "halt()."

(Tip: copy it, right-click on the cmd window, press paste).

This is my output:

C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin>erl -eval "io:format(\"~p~n\", [erlang:system_info(otp_release)])." -eval "halt()."
Eshell V5.10.1  (abort with ^G)
"R16B"

[ghost]

On my phone at the moment but if you check the dump it says this on line 4
'System version: Erlang R16B02 (erts-5.10.3) [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:10]'

[ToJans]

Ah, my apologies; I missed the dump file... I was just exploring the obvious thing...
Can you perform a where when you get back at your pc:

C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin>where iex
C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin\iex
C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin\iex.bat
c:\dev\elixir\elixir\bin\iex
c:\dev\elixir\elixir\bin\iex.bat

C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin>where erl
c:\Program Files\erl5.10.1\bin\erl.exe

C:\Users\Tom\Downloads\v0.11.0\bin>

[ghost]

>where erl
C:\Program Files\erl5.10.3\bin\erl.exe

>where iex
C:\Elixir\bin\iex
C:\Elixir\bin\iex.bat

[ghost]

Uhhh, this is weird. It seems to be working perfectly now. I didn't even do anything. 😖

[ToJans]

No worries... If you would close it, that would be great!
