Only way to get REPL to work is by running `sudo tidalvim`

I had been able to run TidalCycles using SuperCollider on my Mac OS X - Catalina, but have been unable to get the vim-tidal plugin to work. It seems like my user or user group has some permission issues, but I have looked all over the /usr/local/bin/ghc folder as well as changed the permissions to allow the user and user group to have read, write, and execute access. I tried chmod, chown, chirp, but still the only way to get the vim-tidal REPL to work is by launching sudo tidalvim, which I’d rather not do.

Here is the what comes up in my console when I run tidalvim:

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Hi. Are you using Stack? In that case, I think the GHCI should be stack ghci instead of stack tidal. Try running:

$ export GHCI="stack ghci"
$ tidalvim

and see if it loads ghci correctly.
