Hello Kirsten,
Thanks so much for your time and help so far. However, I am still stuck on the issue when I try to do this:
./configure --with-readline-includes=/usr/local \ --with-readline-libraries=/usr/local
I get: checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 checking host system type... i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 checking target system type... i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 Canonicalised to: i386-apple-darwin checking for path to top of build tree... /Users/ariel/work/ghc/ghc-6.6 checking for ghc... no checking for ghc-pkg matching ... no checking for ghc-pkg... no checking whether ghc has readline package... no checking for nhc... no checking for nhc98... no checking for hbc... no configure: error: GHC is required unless bootstrapping from .hc files.
Do you know what should I do to avoid this?
Do you already have a binary version of GHC installed? If you want to build GHC from source, you need a binary of GHC installed already, like the error message suggests. (Unless you want to bootstrap from .hc files, but I've never done that, so I don't know.) See: http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_66.html#macosxintel You didn't say what version of Mac OS X you were using; if it's anything older than 10.3, you're probably SOL.
