I'm new to forth, and in fact low level programming entirely. I think the language is neat, but using it is so far another matter! I've just installed (ostensibly successfully) gforth 0.7.3 on a macOS 12.4 montery apple m1 pro via homebrew. Unfortunately, I think the path is misconfigured and I'm struggling to rectify it.
% gforth gives gforth: cannot open image file gforth.fi in path .:/usr/local/lib/gforth/site-forth:/usr/local/share/gforth/site-forth:/usr/local/lib/gforth/0.7.3:/usr/local/share/gforth/0.7.3 for reading It can't find the image. And echo $GFORTHPATH returns empty. So, I tried instead: % GFORTHPATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gforth/0.7.3_3/lib/gforth/0.7.3 % exporth GFORTHPATH % gforth Which works, but isn't persistent across terminal instances. I read that fixpath.fs might be relevant, and so tried to use that, but % gforth fixpath.fs $GFORTHPATH gforth Fixing gforth with /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gforth/0.7.3_3/lib/gforth/0.7.3:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gforth/0.7.3_3/share/gforth/0.7.3:/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gforth/0.7.3_3/share/gforth/site-forth in file included from *OS command line*:-1 /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gforth/0.7.3_3/share/gforth/0.7.3/fixpath.fs:49: No such file or directory 2 arg >>>fix-exe<<< Backtrace: $129842DE0 throw even though that file does exist at that path. Not sure where to go from here! Thanks
