@markgrebe Are you running OS X El Capitan? That looks like the kind of issue that comes up with El Capitan's rootless thing. You might see if upgrading cabal and cabal-install helps. If not, there might be some useful info here (probably especially the last few comments): haskell/cabal#2653

What commands are you using to build? I usually do this:

Initial setup (once, when cloning repo):

cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies

Build/test:

echo :main build | cabal repl
jekyll serve

Then load localhost:4000 in the browser and check it out.

David,
Yes, I am using El Capitan. It is probably related to the write protection it applies to /usr, /System, and other directories. I just upgraded on Thursday, and I know I had to reinstall Haskell, and also fix a bunch of issues with Latex as well as a result of it.

Andrew,
Yes, I am working in a sandbox, so I did the first two, and I’m getting the error after the echo command. I’m still looking through the page David pointed out, as it does look like they had the same issue.

Thanks,
Mark

All,
It was an El Capitan issue. Based on the page David pointed me too, I removed /Users/markg/Library/Haskell/bin from my .bash_profile PATH, apparently a previous installed had put it there, and it wasn’t removed by the uninstall I did before installing 7.10.3.

I then had to do a cabal install cabal-install, and I was able to build and get rid of the error.

I haven’t tested the website fully yet, know struggling with getting Jekyll to run, but suspect that has to do with similar El Capitan issues with Homebrew and Ruby.

Thanks for your help guys!
Mark
