Haskell Platform for OS X does not run postflight script

[kballard]

The OS X installer for the Haskell Platform is supposed to run a postflight script that symlinks the binaries from /Library/Frameworks/HaskellPlatform.framework/bin into /usr/local/bin. This postflight script does not actually appear to get run (or if it does get run then it doesn't have the proper permissions to actually work). Instead it gets installed at /Library/Frameworks/HaskellPlatform.framework/scripts/postflight.

In my particular case, after installing the platform and logging out/back in (as required by the installer, see ticket #112), my /usr/local/bin folder had not changed. It contained symlinks to alex and happy and a copy of the old cabal 0.6.2 from my previous install of the haskell platform. Running sudo /Library/Frameworks/HaskellPlatform.framework/scripts/postflight fixed the problem.

Turns out the scripts/postflight file doesn't actually get installed, it was left over from my previous installation of the Haskell Platform. The current installer simply never symlinks the binaries into /usr/local/bin like it should.

Thanks for the bug report, this should be fixed in the next beta release (probably this weekend.)

fixed, though they are symlinked into /usr/bin, as that is where the GHC postflight links things
