[erlang-questions] module reloading

[Alex Alvarez]

Thanks for your response and the referenced link!  What called my
attention about this is that according to the c:help() function c:l()
is for both loading and reloading.  Now, I see that from the
documentation this is only the case if the given module (e.g., math)
is marked/identified as old.  Hence, this reloading is only for module
upgrades, as need be.  AFAIK now, then the only way to manually reload
any module is to first use code:delete/1 and then c:l/1 again or
code:load_file/1.  What do you know!  Then again, if you know of a one
step way, please let me know.

Cheers,
Alex

=ERROR REPORT==== 13-Apr-2018::13:09:15 ===
Can't load module 'math' that resides in sticky dir
{error,sticky_directory}

...I get this error message. It's not particular to any module.  From
the error, there seems to be a problem with a stcky bit somewhere. 
Although I don't remember having this problem before, who knows, maybe
it's just my install.  Has anyone run into this issue recently?

Thanks,Alex
