Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform installation failure on OS X 10.6.6 (intel)
This should be fixed in the next (2011) Haskell Platform. You should receive "Please install Xcode developer tools first." - Mark ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform installation failure on OS X 10.6.6 (intel)
Thanks Gregory, Indeed xcode was not installed - however I wonder, why is it a dependency? It seems quite a heavyweight thing to require for installing Haskell, and this requirement may very well be a good reason to *not* install it... Could you please point me to the ticket you opened? I was not able to google it. 2011/2/24 Gregory Collins : > Hello, > > Usually this is because XCode is not installed. I believe the README > states that this is a dependency for the install process.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell platform installation failure on OS X 10.6.6 (intel)
Hello, Usually this is because XCode is not installed. I believe the README states that this is a dependency for the install process. I opened a ticket with GHC HQ a while ago re: making this scenario friendlier for users. G.
