@gavsiu: please check if you have zsh stuffs in /root. Also make sure the package is installed without any conflict.
Well, it should be loaded as long as global zshrc exists...

@ishitatsuyuki: Sorry, how do I check that? I've just installed zsh and only have a .zshrc in my user home folder. I haven't modified anything in /etc.
I just installed zim using the directions from the Git readme and the problem is not there. I'd like to use this package instead if the problem doesn't occur.

@gavsiu: Can you check if root has a custom zsh setup? The script will break if root doesn't load the global installed zshrc.

I'm getting the same issue now even though it's supposedly fixed.
zcompare:zcompile:2: can't write zwc file: /usr/lib/zim/modules/*.zwc
There are 123 lines and I substituted what was different on each line with a *
I've recently installed this on my unencrypted Arch install and did not have any issues. Although I cannot remember if I used the AUR or straight from GitHub.
I reinstalled on a different drive with FDE and this package is giving me that error. No .zimrc, copied my old .zimrc, copied my old .zim folder because for some reason I had one and I don't on the new install... nothing worked. This led me to believe maybe I didn't use this package.

@Rhinoceros: Latest PKGBUILD works fine for me. I could reproduce your problem if used old one.
BTW, I think init.zsh will source .zimrc...
Rhinoceros commented on 2016-04-25 07:38 (UTC)
@ishitatsuyuki I'm not sure what that fixed exactly? I'm still getting the same errors @Brottweiler, i.e. the install and `can't write zwc file` errors.
Ah, good point. So /etc/zsh/zshrc runs, calling /etc/zsh/zimrc (where the zmodules are defined), then /usr/lib/zim/init.zsh. Between these two source statements, I could add a line manually overwriting the zmodules. That's probably fine then. (Assuming I can work out the problems with the system-wide install.)

@Brottweiler CC @Rhinoceros
Fix uploaded.
@Rhinoceros: I'm not sure what you're going to do. You can change zim modules by modifying zimrc: that's loaded after global configuration and before initialization.
Rhinoceros commented on 2016-04-22 10:27 (UTC)
@Brottweiler Thanks for that. I can see from your comments on the Github issue that you are using a manual user-level install… I guess that's the only answer (and also fixes my other question). It's a pity we won't have automatic updates, though.
@ishitatsuyuki However, /etc/zsh/zshrc will still run before ~/.zshrc, so although the ~/.zshrc will run later (and have "higher priority"), the shell still will run both versions… and somehow unload the modules defined in /etc/zsh/zshrc. I guess I could modify /etc/zsh/zshrc (which is in the backup array) to point to an alternative instead of /usr/lib/zim/templates/zimrc, but then this would miss any updates. Having said that, @Brottweiler's comments make me think that the idea of a system-wide install is not workable anyway.
ishitatsuyuki commented on 2016-04-22 09:08 (UTC)
@Rhinoceros: The expected way is to copy that to .zimrc (others work too), and modify it. Then it has higher priority than installed one.

Ugh, it was a PITA to create this package. Please note that errors are silenced, so if you have any issues with zim, remove

$ZIM_HOMEis only writable by root and zim constantly tries to update & recompile itself (=write to$ZIM_HOME), which results in permission errors when starting zsh as a normal user.If you want to add/remove a module:
