Have you installed xcode command-line tools?

And what which clang returns?

checking whether bootstrap compiler is affected by bug 9439... You are using a

We will try though...

Is that a problem??? It seems to have run the configure script just fine for 
all of that.

I am a 30+ years hacker Boris, building from source might just tempt me still!! 
HAHAHA
My machine is now "clean" so I will decide how to play it!

Thanks again everybody.

Hey,

Little addition to what Michael already sent you.

To get ?the latest? you should build from sources :D

But in case it?s ok for you to have ghc 7.8.3 and you don?t want to 
./configure; make; make install, you might also check this installation script 
on github.

I'd recommend looking at:

http://www.stackage.org/install#mac-os-x
https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell/blob/master/README.md#mac-os-x

I don't generally recommend using the platform installer, it ends up pegging 
libraries to old versions which causes dependency problems, or in some cases 
have known bugs.

Agreed Michael!

I am currently wiping all Mac Ports packages and I will perform a clean up of 
/Library/Haskell etc.

What is the *preferred* way to get the lastest for OSX: Using homebrew, 
macports or the Haskell Platform. I *used* to use the platform installer but 
for some reason (cabal I expect!) I started trying out other ways...

I think actually I will go the platform packager again...

I can't really explain the details of what's going on here. It seems that in 
some cases different versions of the executables are being found, but I don't 
know why. Wiping out your sandbox (cabal sandbox delete) and starting over may 
be sufficient to recover.

As requested,

iMac:~ vosabristol$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3

which ghc
/opt/local/bin/ghc

Hmm.... it shows a macports instsallation of GHC... but I am sure that's how I 
git it... I *used* to use the OSX installation package but I thought a clean 
start using MacPorts would somehow change the mood...

iMac:~ vosabristol$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library

iMac:~ vosabristol$ which cabal
/usr/bin/cabal

So... there is a possible case for *once again* performing a complete and utter 
removal of Haskell and its partners in crime and doing a fresh installation?


Out of frustration I built OCaml and OPAM from sources last night but I'd still 
like to go with GHC!

:)

Funny that there's an issue being discussed in the cabal issue tracker right 
now[1] similar to this.?But the report you're giving here is particularly 
strange. Cabal-1.16 implies that you're using GHC 7.6, which is supported by 
the claim that base 4.7 isn't available. I'd recommend starting off with 
running the following commands and pasting the output:

ghc --version
which ghc
cabal --version
which cabal

WTF?

So, welcome to a different kind of hell, "cabal version hell" perhaps?

Can anybody help me get it running again?
Thanks.
