Hello carter,

I tried to install it, but get the error (see bellow.)
I did the usual thing I do on linux: ./configure --prefix=... && sudo make install

The tail of the log:

ghc-cabal: integer-gmp-0.5.1.0: library-dirs: yes is a relative path which

makes no sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can make

paths relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use

--force to override)

hey all, 

I know all of you wish you could run 32bit ghc 7.8.3 on your snazzy mac OS 10.9, so here you are!

http://www.wellposed.com.s3.amazonaws.com/opensource/ghc/releasebuild-unofficial/ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 

$ shasum -a256 ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
1268ce020b46b0b459b8713916466cb92ce0c54992a76b265db203e9ef5fb5e5  ghc-7.8.3-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

is the relevant SHA 256 digest

NB: I believe I managed to build it with intree-gmp too! So it wont' need GMP installed in the system (but I could be wrong, in which case brew install gmp will suffice)

cheers
-Carter
