Hello Alex,

since my unsuccessful try to update to 1.4.9 Tidal Cycles doesn't run anymore. Atom reports:

Custom ghci path configured: ~/.ghcup/bin/ghci  
Ghci command: /Users/Axel/.ghcup/bin/ghci  
Ghc-pkg command: /Users/Axel/.ghcup/bin/ghc-pkg

Loaded package environment from /Users/Axel/.ghc/x86\_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default

: error:  
Ambiguous module name ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’:  
it was found in multiple packages: tidal-1.4.7 tidal-1.4.7

Variable not in scope: d1 :: t0 -\> t

```
• Variable not in scope: sound :: [Char] -> t0

```

Maybe my problem is similar to the one [montoyamoraga] had.  
Should I delete /Users/Axel/.ghc/x86\_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default ?  
And if yes, how?

Yes this is an often seen bug in haskell/cabal. You should indeed delete that package environment file. You can do it from a terminal window with:

```nohighlight
rm /Users/Axel/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-8.6.5/environments/default

```

I tried to do so at Terminal. But it seems that Tidal still does not work.

To be shure to have deleted I repeated the instruction.

```haskell

Do I have to delete all and install TC completely new?
```

@yaxu: Ok. Now I got it. Obviously in some way i deleted to much. Installed TC 1.4.9 new again. And it works! 😉
