The problem I had at first with the Haskell Platform installer was that I didn't have Xcode installed. This should be on one of the OS X install discs, I think. You can also download it from Apple: http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html It might be easier if you could send us the error message you're getting.

That doesn't sound like Xcode, that sounds like X11. What do you get when you do a Spotlight search for "xcode"? Antoine On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 3:44 PM, patricklynch wrote:

Homebrew doesn't need an Apple Developer id. It's not written by Apple, so it has nothing to do with their developer program. If you could describe in more detail what you tried and where things went wrong, I could help you figure out how to get around the problem. You probably will need Xcode installed, which is a free download from developer.apple.com if you don't have your Mac OS X install disc handy. You don't need to pay Apple $99 or any other amount of money to download it, you just need to create a free login on their developer site.
