Bye Any progress on your Mac efforts? In OS X, once you've installed Xcode and the (*very important*) Unix Development Support part of it, it's as easy as:
sudo port install sqlite ...if you've also installed Macports, or "port", which is the cabal-install of the Mac world. You just run that command in the Terminal command line app (found in Applications/Utilities) and it automatically puts the app or lib that you've requested in your path, because macports adds itself and its /opt directory to your path when you install it. You'll probably find it a lot easier to add things and have cabal be able to find them, and it'll be a bit easier for others to help too, because OS X is *nix-y.
