No such file or directory, merlin

[GeertVL-zz]

I have set the ELisp in a proper directory and did a load-path and added the rest of the code to my .emacs file on my Mac.

When I reload Emacs I get

File error: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, merlin

What am I missing?

ps.: When I do

which ocamlmerlin

I get

/Users/geert/.nvm/versions/node/v8.2.1/bin/ocamlmerlin

Emacs exec-path is different from shell's $PATH.

Can you eval (shell-cmd "which ocamlmerlin") in an elisp buffer and check if the correct path is being picked up by emacs?

You can also check current value of exec-path in emacs: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/See-variable-current-value.html and see if the node bin path is there.

Hi I have the same error... when I run (shell-cmd "which ocamlmerlin"), I get:

~/.opam/4.05.0/bin/ocamlmerlin

This seems correct to me. Also ~/.opam/4.05.0/bin is in my exec-path variable as well.

As a side note, I have tried installing this using Quelpa and now I'm trying to install it manually. I haven't been able to get either working.

@tejasbubane I also would expect exec-path to be the same as $PATH if the user is using the package, exec-path-from-shell.

@tejasbubane It be helpful to point out that I have two versions of ocamlmerlin installed on my computer. One presumably installed through opam and another presumably installed using npm install -g.

I see in the Reason Getting Started documentation that it is preferable to install everything through npm, but I think I installed merlin using opam as a desperate measure to attempt to get my editor configuration working.
