I think I am very atypical as I had the Haskell Platform installed and did an uninstall-hs before installing this release candidate. This is on the latest Mac OS and Xcode. At the time I got the error the file was a symbolic link, I believe to an existing file: install: /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install_man] Error 71 make: *** [install] Error 2 bash-3.2$ ls -l /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 gcolpitts admin 80 Jun 23 19:44 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 -> /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/8.0.1-x86_64/usr/share/man/man1/ghc.1 bash-3.2$ rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 Now after a successful install of the binary and a successful compile from source I have: ls -l /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 58932 Nov 26 09:16 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 bash-3.2$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/8.0.1-x86_64/usr/share/man/man1/ghc.1 ls -l /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/8.0.1-x86_64/usr/share/man/man1/ghc.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 58214 May 21 2016 /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/8.0.1-x86_64/usr/share/man/man1/ghc.1 After the binary install I did a cabal install of threadscope, hlint and criterion and some minimal runtime testing. Everything looks fine. Thanks George On Sat, Nov 26, 2016 at 9:47 AM Ben Gamari <ben@well-typed.com> wrote:

Thanks Ben, this is great!
Installing the binary on the Mac results in the following minor problem:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 docs/users_guide/build-man/ghc.1 "/usr/local/share/man/man1" install: /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install_man] Error 71 make: *** [install] Error 2
Thanks for the report, George! That is quite odd indeed. It sounds like /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1 may have been a symlink to a directory which does not exist (possibly?). What does `ls -l /usr/local/share/man/man1/ghc.1` say now?
Cheers,
