really? does the 64 bit code work correctly when compiled? if the compiled version works correctly, could you post a repo of some example codlets that *should work* on ghc 7.6 so i can sort out if its fixable. There were some similar problems with gtk / cairo for a while on OS X, and i was able to sort out reproducible instructions for getting things to work in that case.

Running gloss [1] programs from GHCi only works with the 32bit version of the latest Haskell Platform. The 64-bit version just shows a black window and GHCi becomes unresponsive.
I use gloss to display trees and graphs in the functional programming course given at our university. The ability to work within the interpreter, and able to depict the graphs/trees, really enhances the student's understanding of their programs.
I am hence glad that there is still the 32-bit recommendation for OS X.

I'd much prefer the 64 bit myself, unfortunately http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7040 affects the current version of the Haskell Platform. It's fixed in 7.6.x. This bug prevents me from using Yesod with the 64 bit version of 7.4.2, and it's not just Yesod affected…
