An installer package for Mac OS X, Intel/Leopard, is available at

   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/GHC-6.8.3-i386.pkg

The packages requires Xcode 3.0 to be already installed.  You can find  
Xcode 3.0 on your Leopard installation DVD (or at <http://developer.apple.com 
 >.)

IF you installed one of the pre-release packages AND the final release  
package doesn't install properly, just remove the pre-release first by  
executing

   sudo /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Tools/Uninstaller

(You can remove any other GHC installer package in the same way.)

PS: I will post instructions on how to create a PPC/Leopard installer  
package in the next few days (unfortunately, the 6.8.3 release tar  
ball is not sufficient).  Package creation does not currently work for  
Tiger.
