I see that this this trac item has no milestone and an "unknown" duration. Has this problem (incompatibility of large libraries and ghci on the Mac) slipped through the cracks? Is it thought to be unimportant? For me, not being able to count on ghci is a huge detriment. Thanks,

Comment:
I just ran into this same issue while 'cabal install'ing highlighting-
kate-0.2.9 with 32-bit ghc 7.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6. Is there an up-to-date
recommendation for this problem?
