I have failed to discover any way of adding directories to the
isabelle library load path.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Roger,

you could try (in an Isar .thy file)

ML {* add_path "<my_path>" *}

Cheers

Roger,

add_path ".." (as an ML command) used to do this.

At some time the behaviour of this became unpredictable (at some point,
changes you'd made to the path would get forgotten).

At the time I recall being told (in effect) that this wasn't a bug, it
was an (undocumented) feature.

If this is the problem you're having, try

(1) add_path in an ML file which is use'd, not loaded by use_thy
(this is what I do)

(2) ThyLoad.add_path (I suspect this might also work, though I can't
recall where I came across this idea and I never tried it out).

Hope this helps.

Jeremy
