Barney Stratford: this one built and installed fine on Mac OS X 10.6 :). Interesting, I thought there were still problems there. I assume that's a 32-bit version. The problems manifest themselves only when you compile a 64-bit GHC. That's incorrect. The 32-bit version is only partially work

After using ghci to load a library I'm working in, I got this message: can't load .so/.DLL for: pthread (/usr/lib/libpthread.so: invalid ELF header) Then I did 'cat /usr/lib/libpthread.so' and, much to my surprise, it's a text file with the following contents: /* GNU ld script Use th

What's the canonical way to install a version of ghc but not have it be the default? i.e., I'd like to try testing this release candidate but I want to have to call it explicitly; I want 'ghc', 'ghc-pkg' etc. to still be aliases to ghc-6.10.4, instead of being overwritten by the 6.12.1 install. -
