Re: Trouble using Gforth, having installed via homebrew on OSX

[Alex Byrne]

Putting it in ~/.bashrc makes it persistent but doesn't solve the subsquent
issue of quote:
"""

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.

"""

This implies to me that there is something further wrong, and I don't
really want to get half way into a project and then start fighting with
some installation issues.
