This is caused when the loader tries to spawn a binary that does not exists
(`file or directory not found`). If you call webpack like `webpack` or
-`webpack --watch`, then you need to ensure that all required binaries that the
+`webpack --watch`, then ensure that all required binaries that the
loader depends on are available in your `$PATH`.
-If you use `npm run` and `npm start` on NixOS, then it will first attempt to find
-binaries in `node_packages/.bin`. If you have the compiler installed through `npm`
-and it finds it there, this will cause `ENOENT`on Nix, because

The solution is to simply use the compiler from `haskellPackages.purescript` and
make sure that it's available in `$PATH`. For more information about how to make
it work on Nix, see [Purescript Webpack Example](https://github.com/ethul/purescript-webpack-example#using-globally-installed-binaries)
