Installed on the Mac, looks good, not sure if following is significant:
ghc-pkg check Warning: library-dirs: /opt/local/lib/ doesn't exist or isn't a directory Warning: include-dirs: /opt/local/include/ doesn't exist or isn't a directory Warning: haddock-interfaces: /Users/gcolpitts/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.8.3/lib/Cabal-1.20.0.1/doc/html/Cabal.haddock doesn't exist or isn't a file
did cabal install -j3 of threadscope, criterion, hlint, ghc-mod, quickcheck, smallcheck and smartcheck
Errrr. Whoever is making the Mac bindist should take care to avoid any MacPorts (or for that matter Homebrew) components slipping in to it; this will cause problems down the road. (The same goes for users; if you use MacPorts or Homebrew, wait for the Platform to be updated there and install from there, or you will end up with iconv etc. conflicts. Possibly a warning about this should be included in the install docs.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

That would be makin' that bindist! And your advice about other package systems is the same as my own. The bindist used in the release was built on a very clean machine that has only stock OS X and stock Xcode installed... never Homebrew or MacPorts. That machine doesn't even have a /opt directory! - Mark
