Hi Bill,
It's easy to forget to do replay all in gmail but it's important to do so
in these emails.
In your original email you wrote:
After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for
the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,*
please please link your reply to it.
Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong
for the binary distribution I chose." ?
My understanding is that after that you got the error:
libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.
I then suggested you had encountered
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206 and I
suggested you do:
rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install
You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my
photos when I don't have any."
Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an
email?
Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think
somebody will be able to help you.
Cheers,
George
