Thanks Gregory,

Indeed xcode was not installed - however I wonder, why is it a dependency? It seems quite a heavyweight thing to require for installing Haskell, and this requirement may very well be a good reason to *not* install it...

You need a system development toolchain (compiler, assembler, linker, etc) to run GHC.

Could you please point me to the ticket you opened? I was not able to google it.
