Hi,
I am trying to get GHC 6.5 to compile on Mac OS X and I am not having
much success. I managed to get the CVS version to build without any
problems on my linux machine, and when I followed the same steps to
complie on my mac I get errors.
Here are the steps I followed on my mac
autoreconf
./configure
make
I am using Happy version 1.14
alex version 2.0.1
I also tried 2 different builds, one using gcc 3.3 and the other
using gcc 4.0
With gcc 4.0 I get the following error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
==fptools== make all - --no-print-directory -r;

make[2]: *** [all] Error 1

And with gcc 3.3 I get:

These error messages seem to be non-deterministic. I am running Mac
OS X 10.4.1 with 1 gig RAM.
Cheers,
Chris.
