Downloaded the 32bit Haskell Platform, and now things seem to work. 64bit build seems to be the root cause.

Strike that. I had forgotten that I left a 10.5 SDK symlink in place, which I think I'm going to live with for the time being. <sigh> Also... I forgot to run brew update before installing ghc, which gave me the older version. Looking through the Homebrew formulas, I see Homebrew is suppose to install ghc 7.0.3

I've been using the Haskell package for the last week to learn Haskell, but I've found several issues that make it feel like abandonware (which I know its not).

I'm running OS X 10.6.7 with XCode 4 and installed the Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0-x86_64.pkg. (I just realized this is labeled an experiment build. I hope that isn't the root of my problems. Tell me if it is.) Have you considered installing the Haskell Platform and GHC with Homebrew instead? I haven't installed XCode 4 yet, but Homebrew does make installing new versions of GHC and the Platform pretty painless.
