jpm build, on a fresh install, doesn't work in a way that suggests an improper installation.

janet-cells [] ⊕ jpm build                                 
generating executable c source...

cc: error: /sbin/../lib/libjanet.a: No such file or directory

It seems that under janet-lang 1.9.0-1, the libjanet.a file is not being correctly installed. It's present in the src/build directory before packaging, but doesn't get installed alongside libjanet.so.

Similarly, the jpm show-paths command produces potentially odd results:

binpath:    /sbin
modpath:    /usr/lib/janet
libpath:    /sbin/../lib
headerpath: /usr/include/janet
syspath:    /usr/lib/janet

Note that libpath looks a bit odd compared to the rest.

@GrayJack Thank you for the help, it fixed my setup! I ended up with: export JANET_PATH=~/.local/lib/janet

@lerouxrgd You get that cause you don't have write permission on /usr/lib/janet

If you run with as root or with sudo it will work, although it's recommended to set JANET_MODPATH environment variable for janet in a place you can write into, like ~/.local/lib/janet

$ jpm install joy
error: No such file or directory: /usr/lib/janet/.cache
  in os/mkdir
  in mkdir [/usr/bin/jpm] on line 255, column 3
  in install-git [/usr/bin/jpm] on line 634, column 3
  in install-git [/usr/bin/jpm] (tailcall) on line 625, column 21

Permissions of /usr/share/janet are still wrong (0644 instead of 0755).

@jonathon, love it, much better!! I'll push the changes in a little bit

@GrayJack I've attempted to streamline the installation steps a little. git diff:

Oops, sorry, fixed now!! Thanks to notice this error :)

PKGBUILD sets wrong permissions on /usr/share/janet:

install -dm 644 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/janet"

This resulted in the following warning when I upgraded from 1.6.0:

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/janet/
filesystem: 755  package: 644

Nac, do still have issues? I updated the way it installs the files
