Re: ghc 6.6 for mac os x (intel)

I installed the darwin ports readline and created the following soft link: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib -> /opt/local/lib/libreadline. 5.1.dylib Alternatively, you could install the darwin ports readline and set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. I prefer not to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. -reilly On Feb 6, 2007, at 7:15 AM, Ariel Apostoli wrote:

but when I try installing ghc from that page it seems to install fine but when I invoke /usr/local/bin/ghc i get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6 Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap

My version of mac os x is 10.4.8

Again thanks for your time and help so far!

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.

Cheers, Kirsten
