Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Bill

For your latest problem

 libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.

Did you try what I wrote in my last email:

 rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install
