first version of RC2 has problems with lack of dynamic libraries at least on the Mac

[George Colpitts]

Probably my error, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem that
was missed. Thanks for checking. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

Here are the details of what I did:

I took ghc-7.8.0.20140226-x86_64-apple-darwin-mavericks.tar.bz2 from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc2/ and followed the instructions in
the INSTALL file to install it, i.e.

One possible difference is that my gcc is gcc-4.8 from gnu not gcc from
Apple.

Also my uname output is different than yours:

uname -a
Darwin iMac27-5.local 13.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Thu Jan 16
19:40:37 PST 2014; root:xnu-2422.90.20~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64


Finally I am running XCode 5.2

Is there a to uninstall or clean these RCs?

I'll wait for official notice before trying anything else

I really appreciate all your work and I'm sorry if I caused you any
unnecessary work. I had no problems installing RC1 so may have been
overconfident
