[erlang-questions] wxErlang question 4

[Joe Armstrong]

It didn't work for me - how did you launch this?

I did erl -pa ebin in the root directory (gx-master)
gx:config works and I see a window

but gx:idx() crashes with a badmatch
in line 37 of gx_ui_filetree.erl the line saying

 directory = path:type(Path),

I think this is returning undefined -

Do I have to set some environment variables or something?

./Joe
