# Problem:
* I do my Nim development in a directory _/Users/DM/work/trunk/nim_.
* If from that directory, I use nimble to install a module.
> * **it does install, but I am not able to import it** :-(.
* Any pointers/suggestions would be truely appreciated.
- Example:
- pwd
/Users/DM/work/trunk/nim
- nimble list -i # *No previously existing entry*
