Sorry, I wasn't clear - I was thinking OS X 10.8.3. Your uname says 10.8.0, which I now see (after running uname on my 10.7.5 installation, it says darwin 11.4.2) has nothing to do with the version of OS X you're running, so never mind. What version of OS X *are* you running? The Haskell Platform comes with ghc 7.4.2. The newest release version of ghc is actually 7.6.3, and you can find the binary distributions here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Haskell Platform "ships" with an older version that's been "shaken down" a little more than the latest-and-greatest ghc. It also comes with a selection of libraries that have been well-tested. You *can* start with just ghc 7.6.3 and install the libraries yourself, however. I believe the next Haskell Platform release (scheduled for May-ish, I think) will have 7.6.3, but don't quote me on that. Discussions were ongoing last I looked. I'd suggest downloading and installing the binary for ghc 7.6.3 and see if ghci runs on that without crashing. Hope this helps. On Apr 27, 2013, at 7:56 AM, Michael Peternell wrote:
Is there a version 10.8.3?
I downloaded Haskell from the official website at http://www.haskell.org/platform/ . I followed the one and only "Download" link on the homepage. The Wikipedia says that 7.6.2 is the newest version although I cannot find that version on the haskell website. It's hard for me to believe that the development version would be 3 major version numbers ahead, but maybe we are talking about different implementations?
Where can I find the latest version?

Just a guess, but maybe you could try updating to 10.8.3? I'm pretty sure I've seen people on the ghc-devel mailing list running 10.8.3 and things work. You could also try downloading the ghc 7.6.2 binary.

Hey,
i did a little search.
it seems like this was already a bug 3 years ago: http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/ticket/105 and it reappeared on a Mac in version 7.4.1 8 months ago http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7212 someone has refiled the bug for 7.4.2 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7403 the bug is discussed in communities http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-844842-start-0.html
the 7212 ticket is marked as "wontfix" and the 7403-ticket is marked as "duplicate". i don't wanna file another bug report, there are already enough of them.
please, someone fix this bug.

Hi,
sometimes when I start ghci, I just get a segmentation fault. Sometimes I get even 15 segmentation faults in a row, and sometimes I can open it many times and it works each time.
I downloaded the Haskell Platform for Mac, 64Bit, from http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html I verified the SHA1-Sum, btw.
I tried reinstalling the platform, and I tried deleting the ~/.ghc directory, but nothing works. I didn't do anything fancy with Haskell, I just downloaded it yesterday and I didn't tamper with any haskell-files outside of my home-directory. The only kernel extensions I have installed are the ones from VMWare Fusion and maybe flux. (i'm not sure if flux involves kernel extensions or how deeply it messes with the OS.)

Any insights on what is really going on behind the scenes will be appreciated.
