Xcode is needed on the Mac to install *anything* that's not already a ready made (pre-compiled binary) program. Once you've got Xcode installed, it really does get easier!

It is different than the PC because the Mac is using Xcode to convert the GHC and other Haskell platform files from the source code that people can read to a complied binary program that the computer can read and that can run on your Mac. On the PC what you downloaded and installed was already compiled before you downloaded it.

Once you get your free developer.apple.com account you then look for the link for Xcode and pick the one for your version of OSX (10.4 or 10.5 or 10.6).

Download the file and when it finishes you can just double click it on the download window and it'll run the installer, or at least take you to the downloaded installer in whatever folder it is in so you can then double click installer file and make it run. I forget which way it works right now, but one of those will work.

It'll then have you agree to the software license, and ask for your system password.

Write it in, then wait a while for it to finish. It'll tell you when it's done... and after that you can try to install the Haskell platform again and it should work.

This is the beginner list: "Here, there is no such thing as a 'stupid question.'" Any other problems with your install? Post them back to the list. You don't have to give up on it... keep at it and people here will help you through.

This should be on one of the OS X install discs, I think. You can also download it from Apple:

It can't be the @ because my Apple ID has one. Maybe you made a typo when inputting your email as your Apple ID the first time? Or maybe your email "spam" filter is catching Apple's replies and stopping them from arriving in your inbox? Either way, at this point, I would say just try and register a new account.
