Not sure why, but some programs can not create links or files in
/usr/local. I have ran into this with Hammerspoon and the Haskell
installer. I agree the Haskell for Mac OS X is a better way to run,
but I keep having cabal conflicts with other libraries. I was
answering for the specific problem, not an alternate solution.

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.

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? _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners
