[Haskell-cafe] macosx-app on Yosemite

Dear list,

I tried to install wxHaskell, following these instructions:
https://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Mac
It lists some configurations known to work, but I am running OS X
10.10,which is not among them.

"brew install wxmac --devel" reported no errors.
Next, "cabal install wx cabal-macosx" reported no errors.
Next, "ghc --make HelloWorld.hs" reported no errors.
But when I try to run "macosx-app HelloWorld", I get "-bash: macosx-app:
command not found".

Below is a transcript of the installation process, tab-indented for ease of
viewing.

Many thanks,
Jeff
