[Haskell-cafe] ghc-6.7.20070330 on Mac OS X

[Pepe Iborra]

(redirecting to glasgow-haskell-users)

It is well known that the readline lib that comes with OS X is no  
good, and you need to use a replacement. A nice post from the  
blogosphere explaining all this:

http://mult.ifario.us/articles/2006/10/17/ghc-6-6-and-mac-os-x- 
readline-quick-fix

If that doesn't help, please post the errors that you get when  
building the readline package.

Cheers
