Hi, I managed to build it eventually using the instructions on: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/MacOSX Sorry to Greg - I accidentally sent this to your personal email address first. Ruben On 02/04/2007, at 4:34 AM, Gregory Wright wrote:

Hi Ruben,

The GHC wiki also has information on this, and should be your first stop if you are experiencing build problems:

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

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.

Cheers pepe
