I'm now using the binaries from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.8.1/chakravarty/ghc-6.8.1-i386-apple-darwi...
Configure still runs without problems, but now I get a new error during make install: /Users/Carsten/Desktop/ghc-6.8.1/utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg.bin --global-conf /Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1/package.conf update - --force dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgmp.3.dylib Referenced from: /Users/Carsten/Desktop/ghc-6.8.1/utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg.bin Reason: image not found /bin/sh: line 1: 5312 Done cc -E -undef -traditional -P -DINSTALLING -DIMPORT_DIR='"/Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1/imports"' -DLIB_DIR='"/Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1"' -DINCLUDE_DIR='"/Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1/include"' -DDATA_DIR='"/Library/GHC/share/ghc-6.8.1"' -DHTML_DIR='"/Library/GHC/share/ghc-6.8.1/html/libraries/rts"' -DHADDOCK_IFACE='"/Library/GHC/share/ghc-6.8.1/html/libraries/rts/rts.haddock"' -I../includes -x c -DGMP_INCLUDE_DIRS='' -DGMP_LIB_DIRS='' -I -Iinclude -DPACKAGE=rts -DVERSION= -DPKG_LIBDIR='"/Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1"' -DPKG_DATADIR='"/Library/GHC/share/ghc-6.8.1"' package.conf.in 5313 | grep -v '^#pragma GCC' 5314 | sed -e 's/""//g' -e 's/:[ ]*,/: /g' 5315 Trace/BPT trap | /Users/Carsten/Desktop/ghc-6.8.1/utils/ghc-pkg/ghc-pkg.bin --global-conf /Library/GHC/lib/ghc-6.8.1/package.conf update - --force make[1]: *** [install] Error 133 make: *** [install] Error 2 Is setting up GHC always that complicated?
