More on trying to install Haskell platform on Lion...
Hi, An update on my continuing attempts to install Haskell platform on OS/X Lion. Just in case there was some problem with my Homebrew settings I completely removed Homebrew and reinstalled a fresh version, but still get the same errors. Could someone confirm for me whether OS/X Lion is supported for Haskell platform (or more likely) there's a different way of going about installation? Thanks, Stu
I managed to install 64bit haskell platform and use it without problems on 10.7 Lion On 6 Mar 2012, at 21:04, Stuart Hungerford wrote:

(a) Xcode 4.3 was only just released
(b) Apple does not allow details of unreleased software to be discussed
etc. before release
which means
(c) everyone who relies on Xcode got pretty much blindsided by all the
changes.
ghc hasn't quite caught up with the changes yet. MacPorts is still
struggling with some issues involved with the release; I don't know where
Homebrew is with respect to it. Some of the other projects I'm involved
with aren't Mac focused, and are just starting to realize that there are
problems with Xcode 4.3 support.
If you need Haskell Platform working ASAP on OS X, remove Xcode 4.3, then
download Xcode 4.2.1 from http://connect.apple.com/.

Thanks -- that sounds like a good approach. In the meantime I did find that building ghc and haskell-platform with Homebrew and the "--use-llvm" switch worked without errors, but I don't know enough about Haskell yet to tell if the result is useable. My long term goal is to install the Diagrams package, which needs GTK, Cairo etc. From what I've found so far that seems to be a serious undertaking too (although I'd be delighted to be corrected on that). Thanks, Stu
