GHC 6.8 and Mac OS X Leopard

Has anyone got GHC 6.8.1 building on Leopard? Unfortunately macports isn't even letting me build GHC 6.6.1 since the bootstrap GHC isn't working. Does anyone have any ideas or am I just too impatient? Thanks, Tim Clark

Oh, right... that thread is in ghc-users. We are seeing if we can get it built... is this on PPC? I installed the binary ghc-6.6.1 from the website, and am trying to build ghc while messing with build platform fun. There is a binary build for x86, though, if you are on such a platform. -Brian Manuel M T Chakravarty wrote:

Thanks that is the x86 binary is exactly what I need!
