Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc-6.7.20070330 on Mac OS X
(redirecting to glasgow-haskell-users) It is well known that the readline lib that comes with OS X is no good, and you need to use a replacement. A nice post from the blogosphere explaining all this: http://mult.ifario.us/articles/2006/10/17/ghc-6-6-and-mac-os-x- readline-quick-fix If that doesn't help, please post the errors that you get when building the readline package.

I am trying to build this version of GHC on Mac OS X. I'm currently using GHC 6.6. The build is failing with the following error:

So it seems I need to install the Readline library. But building the Readline library is also giving me errors on my system.
Just wondering if someone else has managed to build ghc-6.7.x on Mac OS X? If so, what did you need to do?
Cheers,
Ruben

Hi Ruben, The GHC wiki also has information on this, and should be your first stop if you are experiencing build problems: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/MacOSX At least under MacPorts, I have had no trouble building 6.7-20070330. I will be releasing a new portfile for ghc-devel in a few days that will build the latest from the darcs repository. Best Wishes, Greg On Apr 1, 2007, at 11:50 AM, Pepe Iborra wrote:

There is also a special page all about building GHC on MaxOSX http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/MacOSX If it doesn't explain enough about readline (e.g. does it include "the nice post from the blogosphere"?), perhaps someone can enhance it? In general, when building GHC, the place to look is http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building and there are architecture-specific sub-pages. Do please add painfully-learned information to these wiki pages! thanks Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org] On | Behalf Of Pepe Iborra | Sent: 01 April 2007 16:50 | To: Ruben Zilibowitz | Cc: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org Users | Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc-6.7.20070330 on Mac OS X | | (redirecting to glasgow-haskell-users) | | It is well known that the readline lib that comes with OS X is no | good, and you need to use a replacement.
