Description Michael K 2023-05-02 11:32:20 UTC 
Helix can't find runtime, themes or tutor.

> hx --health:
Config file: /home/mypc/.config/helix/config.toml
Language file: /home/mypc/.config/helix/languages.toml
Log file: /home/mypc/.cache/helix/helix.log
Runtime directories: /home/mypc/.config/helix/runtime;/usr/bin/runtime
Runtime directory does not exist: /home/mypc/.config/helix/runtime
Runtime directory does not exist: /usr/bin/runtime
Clipboard provider: xclip
System clipboard provider: xclip

..but runtime's in /usr/lib64/helix/runtime instead of /usr/bin/runtime
Comment 1 Soc Virnyl Estela 2023-05-18 06:24:14 UTC 
Fixed specfile. Moved the `hx` binary to `/usr/lib64/helix/runtime`. This is based on https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html?highlight=runtime#multiple-runtime-directories, specifically number 4.
Comment 2 Soc Virnyl Estela 2023-05-18 06:25:39 UTC 
This is tested in my distrobox instance

```
tumbleweed% helix --health

Comment 4 Andreas Stieger 2024-04-24 05:23:34 UTC 
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1106733 was declined and duplicate bug 1223279 showed that this is still an issue on Leap. Do you have a plan?
