Any release date for GHC 6.8.3 for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on PowerPC G4 machines?

[Christian Maeder]

I've rebuild the binary without statically linked gmp.

http://www.dfki.de/sks/hets/mac/ghcs/ghc-6.8.3-powerpc-apple-darwin.tar.bz2

So in addition to readline (and ncurses) you need gmp from MacPorts.
(Otherwise even installation will fail, because pwd needs gmp.)

If you want ghc to produce static binaries then move the static library
libgmp.a into your installed ghc's libdir.

Cheers Christian
