Here's what worked for me: bunzip2 ghc-6.6-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 tar -xvf ghc-6.6-i386-apple-darwin.tar cd ghc-6.6 ./configure sudo make show-install-setup sudo make install ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.6 I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.8. The "make show- install-setup" step doesn't do anything but show you where the files will go when you do "make install," but "make install" worked fine on my machine. -Rod On Oct 13, 2006, at 7:23 PM, Adam Megacz wrote:
Hi,
I'm grateful to whoever prepared the binary bundle for ghc-6.6 on MacOS/Intel, but the instructions for installing it are missing/wrong.
In particular, "make install" doesn't do much, and the only binary in the bundle called "ghc" appears to need additional configuration options (-B), so it seems to need some sort of installation procedure. The "INSTALL" file is not useful.
Overall, I'm kind of uncertain exactly what this tarball contains. It looks like a "built" copy of the source code, but most of the source code is missing. It's not an installer (.mpkg) nor does it (apparently) contain any install scripts.
Could you perhaps update this webpage with an example of the shell commands you might use to get it installed to the point where typing "ghc Foo.hs" works?
