Terminal, WSL



For example, I currently have GHC's executable in ~/bin/ghc/bin/ghc, but my $PATH only specifies /home/user/bin. I have tried running ln ~/bin/ghc/bin/ghc ~/bin/ghc-usr, but bash still doesn't recognize it.



EDIT: I have run ln with sudo.

  • The search is not recursive, so regardless of whether the directory is symlinked or not, if the executables are inside a subdirectory ghc-usr, then you will need to add ~/bin/ghc-usr (rather than just ~/bin) to PATH

  • Why didn't you run ln as regular user instead of with sudo?
