Hi Bill, It's easy to forget to do replay all in gmail but it's important to do so in these emails. In your original email you wrote: After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,* please please link your reply to it. Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose." ? My understanding is that after that you got the error: libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. I then suggested you had encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 and I suggested you do: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my photos when I don't have any." Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an email? Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think somebody will be able to help you.

Hi, George,

I'd be happy to do that for you. But I'm sure I can recall the information a GHC maintainer would need.

Best, Bill

Hi William

I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/report-a-bug

Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you describe how the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the beginning, describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

Regards, George

Hi, George,

Yes, I did. But I must have made a mistake. After I pasted them into a Terminal window, the machine warned me that some program wanted to access my photos when I don't have any.

For your latest problem

libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Did you try what I wrote in my last email:

rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install

Hi, everyone,

Thank you for the help. Someone will tell me how to solve the problem, I hope because it stumped me.

That seems unlikely; it would report a permission error in that case, not that it had the wrong architecture.

I forget what I did to install it. But the compiler and other ghc-related programs live in /usr/local/bin. Since I installed the wrong binaries, I changed the directory to /usr/local/bin and tried to empty that directory with rm -rf ghc*.*, but that didn't delete anything. So I wonder whether I'll need to remove those programs before reinstalling ghc. >>> >>> Thanks for your help, too. >>> >>> Best, >>> Bill >>> >>> On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 7:59 AM George Colpitts < george.colpitts@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi Bill >>>> >>>> Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air.
