[Haskell-beginners] Installing GHC and GHCi on a PowerPC Mac running MacOS 10.5.8

[Luca Ciciriello]

Hi Paul.
I think that the last PPC version of GHC supported was 6.4.1 (I've installed it on my old iBook G4 with MacOS X 10.5.8 Xcode 3.1)

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_641.html

but I'm not sure.

Try to install this version. 
Let me know.

Luca.
