Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi William

I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here
<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/report-a-bug>

Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you describe how
the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the beginning,
describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

Regards,
George
