GHC 6.5 on Mac Os X

[Christopher Brown]

Hi,

I am trying to get GHC 6.5 to compile on Mac OS X and I am not having  
much success. I managed to get the CVS version to build without any  
problems on my linux machine, and when I followed the same steps to  
complie on my mac I get errors.

Here are the steps I followed on my mac

autoreconf
./configure
make

I am using Happy version 1.14
alex version 2.0.1

I also tried 2 different builds, one using gcc 3.3 and the other  
using gcc 4.0

With gcc 4.0 I get the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

And with gcc 3.3 I get:

These error messages seem to be non-deterministic. I am running Mac  
OS X 10.4.1 with 1 gig RAM.

Cheers,
