Thanks Brandon. There were some earlier emails that somehow got dropped from this.

I believe we have already solved the wrong architecture issue; this is the next issue.

Here is the earlier email:

I just noticed that you said you installed a binary distribution. If for example you chose the 9.4.4 distribution at https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_9_4_4.html#macosx_x86_64 you should choose one of:

- ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.xz https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.... (187.0 MB, sig https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.... ) - ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.... (300.0 MB, sig https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.... )

rather than

- ghc-9.4.4-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.x... (177.9 MB, sig https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.x... ) - ghc-9.4.4-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.4/ghc-9.4.4-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.b...

That seems unlikely; it would report a permission error in that case, not that it had the wrong architecture.

Hi Bill

I'm cc'ing GHC dev and GHC users as someone else may have a better

answer, catch a mistake I made etc. Please don't delete them.

I believe you have encountered

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206

...

I believe the way to fix this is to do the following:

rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install

However I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is

supposed to have been fixed.

Hi, George,

I got this message when I ran make install with the sudo command. What

should I do?

libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple

cannot check it for malicious software.

What should I do now?

Thanks.

Hi George,

Thank you for your reply. I forget what I did to install it. But the

compiler and other ghc-related programs live in /usr/local/bin. Since I installed the wrong binaries, I changed the directory to /usr/local/bin and

Thanks for your help, too.

Hi Bill

Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air. The cpu in that is Apple

Silicon , the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips,

I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard

way is described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you installed it?

Thanks George
