Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[Steven Smith]

I recommend using macOS package managers to take care of all this. There’s a whole community of knowledgeable folks who have figured out all these build and install details, and I know that it’s simply a matter of doing this to get a working version of the latest, on either x86_64 or arm64 machines: sudo port install ghc That’s using MacPorts. There are other options, but I strongly recommend MacPorts for several reasons, especially for development tools.

I believe you have encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 I believe the way to fix this is to do the following: rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc* rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc* ./configure sudo xattr -rc . sudo make install However I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is supposed to have been fixed.

What should I do? libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. What should I do now? Thanks.

But the compiler and other ghc-related programs live in /usr/local/bin. Since I installed the wrong binaries, I changed the directory to /usr/local/bin and tried to empty that directory with rm -rf ghc*.*, but that didn't delete anything. So I wonder whether I'll need to remove those programs before reinstalling ghc. Thanks for your help, too.

The cpu in that is Apple Silicon , the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips, the x86_64-apple-darwin platform.  I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard way is described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you installed it?

Will GHC run on my new MacBook Air? After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for MacOS 12.5.1, please please link your reply to it.
