A full binary distribution of GHC 6.8.1 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is available from http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ghc-6.8.1-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

Thanks, it's great you provided a binary distribution, especially since macports' ghc seems to be broken on Leopard at the moment.

I had one little problem when linking with a dynamic library though (darwin9 / i386): <<< ghc --make -O -hidir build/ifaces -odir build/objs Foreign/ YicesTest.hs -o bin/YicesTest -optl "-fexceptions" -lstdc++ -lyices Linking bin/YicesTest ... ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in ___gmpn_divexact_1 from /lib/ghc-6.8.1/ libgmp.a(dive_1.o) not allowed in slidable image

I don't know if this is a known problem and what causes it, and I'm not sure what it means; However, replacing the 'libgmp.a' you've distributed with a recently compiled one from macports (gmp 4.2.2_0) resolved the problem for me.

I am sorry, but I am a bit out of my depth here. Specifically, I don't know much about the mac linker. Maybe somebody with some more experience in that area can shed light on this problem. Manuel
