chapel: Can't run chpl after install

[zibo-wang (Zibo Wang)]

I have installed chapel and sourced the startup script, however, it keeps complaining

$ chpl -h
Error: $CHPL_HOME is not where it is expected
/opt 

if I do printchplenv,

Eventhough if I echo, the CHPL_HOME is pointing to the right location. Please help. Also I think chapel has been updated to 1.33 as well.

Cheers, Z

I don't know this software, but do I see correctly that the value of CHPL_HOME is /opt/local/lib/chapel *? Is that what it should be or should it be /opt/local/lib/chapel instead?

[zibo-wang (Zibo Wang)]

The star "*" only indicates this is the current chpl env points to. The issue shows here is that even though echo the env var shows the location is /opt/local/lib/chapel, but the chpl binary thought itself is in /opt. I am not sure how macports manage formulas.
