This is indeed the problem. I'm a sysadmin; if I need a tool like this, I
don't usually have any say in what is in the filenames --- and, sadly,
people *do* use all manner of odd characters, including newlines, non-UTF8,
etc. It's my place to deal with what is, not what would be in an ideal
world.

Hi,
I?m trying to install Haskell on Mac
I have OSX El Capitan so I downloaded from https://www.haskell.org/platform/
the Download (64 bit) (10.11).
The installer runs, however, when I type into terminal ghci I get
ghci
-bash: ghci: command not found
?which ghci? it just doesn?t return anything.
Thanks,
Daniel

The installer can't create the links to your /usr/local/bin folder
anymore under El Capitan. I just added this to my .bashrc and .zshrc
files:
export
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/:/Library/Haskell/bin:$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH";
That should fix your problem. At least, it did for me.

How can I add this to these files? I can?t find them.
Also, I will want to compile from Emacs. Will I need to add this PATH somehow
there as well?

Depending on the shell you are using, you will have to put it in your
.bashrc file for the bash shell or you .zshrc for zsh. Assuming you
are using the default setup, you are then using bash and will need to
add it to your .bashrc. In a unix type filesystem (which OS X is), all
files starting with a "." are invisible. In a terminal in your home
directory, type "emacs .bashrc" and add the line to the file. You can
see the file in the terminal by using "ls -a" to list everything -
even hidden files.
Once you update your .bashrc file, reload your shell. Emacs will see
it as well since it should use the PATH environment variable to find
it.

How come? The /usr/local hierarchy is expressly excempt from the
restrictions that apply to the rest of the /usr hierarchy.
I have all kinds of stuff in /usr/local myself, no trouble at all.
But Haskell platform used to install binaries in /usr/bin, which is
definitely a no-no on El Capitan. I think a workaround was posted to
this mailing list, or was it on cafe?
Personally, I have abandoned Haskell platform in favour of the
installation instructions here:
https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell/blob/master/install.md
So I couldn't comment on the viability of the workaround that I saw.
? Harald
PS. I don't know what happens if /usr/local did not exist when you
installed El Capitan. Is it then necessary to turn off SIP in order to
create this directory, due to the restrictions on /usr?
