ghc 6.6 for mac os x (intel)

[Reilly Hayes]

I installed the darwin ports readline and created the following soft  
link:

/usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib -> /opt/local/lib/libreadline. 
5.1.dylib

Alternatively, you  could install the darwin ports readline and set  
the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.  I prefer not to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
