Hi! Two students in my class tried to install Haskell on their private MacBooks (one Leopard, one SnowLeopard). We used the package at http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html . Neither of them got to install it as the button "Install" is greyed and not clickable. What is the best way to install GHC on a current Mac? It would not necessarily have to be the latest greatest. Regards, Torsten

The most common cause of this error is not having Xcode installed. It should be on one of the discs that came with the Mac, but it is also available from Apple if you make a (free) login to their dev site: http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html Antoine

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew brew install ghc # I was using just this for a while brew install haskell-platform # To get cabal and all that stuff Cheers, Xavier

And also remember to install the Unix Developers tools when you install XCode. ::paul On Feb 14, 2011, at 2:41 PM, Xavier Shay wrote:
