haskell platform - mac lion - installation error

Hello - I'm a new user, having some trouble installing the Haskell Platform (2011.4.0.0 64bit.pkg) on a Macbook Pro (10.7.3). I installed Xcode 4.3.1 (4E1019), then the Haskell Platform. When I double-click on the Platform package icon, I get an installation dialogue with an error message reading "Developer Tools Missing - Please install Xcode developer tools first." Are Xcode developer tools something distinct from Xcode itself? I'm mystified by this error message. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - thank you.

1) Check whether you have a /Developer directory, and if not 2) look in your Applications folder to see whether you have program called Install XCode and if so run that It may be that you just downloaded the installer and did not run it? Doaitse On Mar 10, 2012, at 10:15 , Peter wrote:

Xcode 4.3.x does not use /Developer. The new path is /Applications/Xcode.app/Resources/Developer, but it has been rearranged (in particular, the SDKs have been moved, but there are other rearrangements as well) such that simply making a symlink will not work. (Xcode 4.3 also no longer has Install Xcode.app.) The Mac Haskell Platform installer may need to be updated to support Xcode 4.3. Note also that there still is an "optional component" that is generally needed for third party developer tools to work: you need to download the command line tools from within Xcode 4.3. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms

Once the Mac Haskell Platform installer is updated, it should no longer be needed to install Xcode. Then it should be enough to install the Command Line Tools package from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ which is just a 171Mb download instead of the 1.85Gb for the whole Xcode toolset.

XCode 4.3 does not install the Unix development environment by default
anymore. Go to the XCode preferences, and then to the Download pane, there
should be an Install button for that.

Dear Peter, I recently had a similar problem with the same Haskell Platform version but on a Macmini (running Lion as well). I learnt that you have to install the 'command line tools' by using the 'preferences' of your XCode installation. After that, everything will work. Best regards, Salvador.
