Thanks, sounds like we are all set. Sorry for any confusion I may caused.
No worries :] If you're still trying to get it to work, I'd suggest trying the homebrew tap I pointed to (http://github.com/darinmorrison/homebrew-haskell). It should "just work" on 10.8 and 10.9 with or without Xcode 5. Another option is to download the existing bindist from the GHC website and edit the SETTINGS file in the source tree. In that case, you'd have to change "C Compiler Command" to something other than "gcc" (which now points to clang). If it were me, I'd either just use the apple-gcc42 or gcc49 from homebrew. Modifying this entry in SETTINGS will fix random breakage when building Haskell packages with the bindist (caused by GHC using clang for CPP). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8139#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
