3636## Issues with Nix

3838If you are using packages installed by Nix, then often Nix will set `NIX_GHC_LIBDIR` to say where the libraries are installed. `ghcide` can cope with that. However, sometimes the `ghc` on your shell will actually be a shell script that sets `NIX_GHC_LIBDIR`, which `ghcide` can't find. If that happens, you need to either set `NIX_GHC_LIBDIR` (so `ghcide` can see it) or use a proper [Nix compatible wrapper](https://github.com/hercules-ci/ghcide-nix) over `ghcide`.

48+This can be caused by either an old version of the Emacs package `dash`, or a cached `.elc` file for an old version. A fix consists of (re)moving the old package from ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ and installing it again, e.g. via M-x `package-list-packages` RET and M-x `package-install` RET `dash` RET. If this is not enough,
