My machine is an iMac running Leopard, 10.5.8. I've installed GHC from the haskell-platform-..(Leopard/x86) disk image. Ghci works fine as far as I can tell.

Is there any particular advantage to also installing Hugs?

Not really, unless (say) you are following some tutorial that specifically uses it.

Well, Hugs does start much faster than ghci on my machine, but that's about the only advantage. :) Regards, apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
