I downloaded the experimental 64 bit installer for from Haskell Platformhttp://hackage.haskell.org/platform/mac.html. It fails with the message "The installation failed." In case Haskell Platform i386 was interfering, I uninstalled it. But the 64 bit installer still yields "The installation failed."
