Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

Type the following at the command line: xcode-select --install and then try ghci again. I'm not sure what you mean by "the software" in the phrase "Should I delete and reinstall the software you told me to install?" but in any case don't delete anything. Please try to be as specific as possible. When you first encounter a problem you should Google for a solution. If that doesn't work you can send mail to me but also cc ghc-devs(a)haskell.org and glasgow-haskell-users(a)haskell.org Cheers George On Thu, Mar 16, 2023 at 11:09 PM William McEnaney < bill.mcenaney.jr(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, George, > > Sorry to bother you.

Somehow I missed that it is now working for you. Great! Definitely no need to report a bug. Haskell is a great language. Enjoy!

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

Hi Bill, It's easy to forget to do replay all in gmail but it's important to do so in these emails. In your original email you wrote: After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,* please please link your reply to it. Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose." ? My understanding is that after that you got the error: libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. I then suggested you had encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 and I suggested you do: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my photos when I don't have any." Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an email? Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think somebody will be able to help you.

Hi William I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here <https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/report-a-bug> Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you describe how the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the beginning, describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

Bill For your latest problem libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Did you try what I wrote in my last email: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install George On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 1:20 PM William McEnaney <bill.mcenaney.jr(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, everyone, > > Thank you for the help.

Hi Bill I'm cc'ing GHC dev and GHC users as someone else may have a better answer, catch a mistake I made etc. Please don't delete them. I believe you have encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 I believe the way to fix this is to do the following: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install However I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is supposed to have been fixed.

Coordination on FreeBSD CI, default WinIO and Info Tables profiling work
by Hécate 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

Hi everyone, I have created topical aggregators of tickets that go beyond the rhythm of releases (aka. "epics") for the following topics: * Info Tables Profiling: https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/3 * Setting WinIO "on" by default: https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/4 * FreeBSD CI revival: https://gitlab.haskell.org/groups/ghc/-/epics/5 These epics have no deadline and their purpose is to track the evolution of our workload for certain "big" tasks that go beyond a single ticket. They are also useful as they are a (albeit imprecise) tool to help determine after the fact the magnitude of a project and the efforts it took. This will certainly be helpful for future estimations. And finally their prime purpose is to enable more awareness about our co-contributors work, so that we get all a better sense of what it takes to do certain things. :) Please do feel free to create your own for projects that are not fit for a single milestone (or are not related to release milestones at all). Cheers, Hécate -- Hécate ✨ 🐦: @TechnoEmpress IRC: Hecate WWW: https://glitchbra.in RUN: BSD
