I just reinstalled Haskell Platform (here is why) and after reinstalling the Haskell Platform I get:

Drews-MacBook-Pro:Blokus-AI drewgross$ ghc
-bash: /usr/local/bin/ghc: No such file or directory

Any idea why? I suspect that this is something to do with my path or something like that but I haven’t found anything weird yet. I can use ghc directly:

Drews-MacBook-Pro:Blokus-AI drewgross$ /usr/bin/ghc
ghc: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

And /usr/bin/ is in my path:

Drews-MacBook-Pro:Blokus-AI drewgross$ echo $PATH
/Users/drewgross/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin:/Users/drewgross/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@global/bin:/Users/drewgross/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin:/Users/drewgross/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin

what else can I do?

    The bash shell caches paths to commands that you’ve previously used. Using which ghc won’t show this (because it’s external to the shell and just queries the PATH), but type is a bash-internal command that will reveal this situation, so type ghc will show something like

    ghc is hashed (/usr/local/bin/ghc)

    The fix is easy. Either start a new shell (where you start from scratch), or clear the cache by saying hash -r.
