Description

cd book && lake exe fp-lean always breaks down with something missing in ../examples/, like

✖ [144/233] Running exampleBinaries
error: no such file or directory (error code: 2)
  file: <WHATEVER>/fp-lean/book/../examples/.lake/build/bin

This is on Linux, with ~/.elan/ already populated via VSCode, and working Lean in VSCode.

Further, lake exe fp-lean downloads newer versions of Lean (acurally, different ones) for the reason I don't understand. Shouldn't it be using the one installed?

Research direction

Start by running cd book && lake exe fp-lean on Linux and inspect the missing ../examples/.lake/build/bin path reported during exampleBinaries. Then trace how the book build selects Lean versions and whether it uses the existing ~/.elan/ installation. Done means the offline book build completes without missing example binaries or downloading unexpected Lean versions.
