Io(language) startup error - .io_history

Question

I installed and was running the Io(language) command line interface fine in OSX but now I'm getting this error on startup:

Exception: while loading history file '/Users/andrew/.io_history', reason: No such file or directory

Any one have any idea how to fix it? I've made the file requested (but I don't know what to put in it.) Googling for this error hasn't helped (just gotta love Io's un-google-ability... :-) )

Answer 1

Try the following in a terminal:

touch ~/.io_history

Or just create a empty plain txt file and save it to ~/.io_history.

If you user name is not andrew, then i guess you just have to reinstall Io binaries.

Answer 2

I had the same issue on OSX. Just delete the .io_history file.
