JPM won't start on arch linux (installed from package `janet-lang-git`

[glyh]

Here's the error message:

$ jpm
exec: Failed to execute process '/usr/local/bin/jpm': The file specified the interpreter '/usr/local/bin/janet', which is not an executable command.
$ JANET_PATH=(which janet) jpm # I am using fish

I think the package may be out of date.

The PKGBUILD seems to refer to a not-so-recent version of janet.

I think the listed maintainer (@GrayJack) mentioned he didn't have a whole lot of time to look after things these days and was asking around if someone wanted to take over.

@glyh I don't know if this is still an issue for you, but FWIW...

It appears that around 2023-06-02, GrayJack was working on adding another maintainer for the janet-lang AUR package.

The content of that page suggests there are now 2 additional maintainers -- @Schnouki and @tionis.

Admittedly it's a different package and I haven't tried it myself, but perhaps it's a work-around or solution?

GrayJack told me @Schnouki pushed a fix a few days ago, but I haven't tested it yet.

Thanks for the status update :)
