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

Thanks. Another question is what version of Cabal you are using, as it
knows how to build dylibs properly. I'm using cabal 1.18.

To delete the RC, you can just delete the directory it installed into (the
GHC-7.8.xxxxx folder). Also make sure you remove the executables from $PATH

And no worries about any unnecessary work. I'm here to do the release after
all, and feedback is helpful!
