I ultimately failed to get 6.8.1 working on OS X 10.5 (with XCode 3.0). The compile finished, the only odd thing was the often multiply repeated message "unknown scattered relocation type 4" during compilation. I have the configure and build log, but I doubt it holds anything useful.
So now I have a compiler/stage1/ghc-6.8.1 and compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace whcih work, and a compiler/stage2/ghc-6.8.1 and compiler/stage2/ghc-inplace that Segmentation Fault when I try to run either. "make install" works, but installs a Segmentation Faulting compiler. I give up until someone else can report a recipe for success or posts a binary for powerpc G4 or has a really convincing hypothesis. The good news is that the ghc-6.6.1 leftover from OS 10.4.x still works. -- Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Brian P.
