Attempted install on Mac OS X - recent versions - FAIL

[Phil Dennis]

I am looking for some assistance with installing GHC on Mac OS X. If
there is a more appropriate place for me to ask, please let me know.

I have tried, with no luck so far, the 2 different binary
distributions of 6.10.4 provided for the Mac on the haskell.org ghc
download page (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_6_10_4.html#macosxintel)

I have OS X version 10.5.7 with XCode version 3.1.2 installed.

When I run the installer (GHC-6.10.4-i386.pkg) I get as far as the
"Installation Type" screen with the following text displayed: "Click
Install to perform a standard installation of this software for all
users of this computer". However the 'Install' button is greyed out
and cannot be clicked. The last entries in the installer log are as
follows:
Jul 29 00:03:29 phil-denniss-macbook-pro Installer[11740]: Glasgow
Haskell Compiler Installation Log
Jul 29 00:03:29 phil-denniss-macbook-pro Installer[11740]: Opened

receipt database on '/' with schema 17.
Jul 29 00:03:36 phil-denniss-macbook-pro installdb[11743]: done.
(0.003u + 0.003s)

ALSO

I tried the binary distribution (ghc-6.10.4-i386-apple-darwin.tar.bz2)
which I extracted, and then ran ./configure, as instructed in the
INSTALL file. After adding /Developer/usr/bin to the path (so that the
configure script could find the 'ar' program) I now get the following
error from the configure script:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I have pasted some of what looks relevant from config.log, below.

Any help with either one of the install methods for OS X would be much
appreciated. I am keen to get started trying out Haskell, instead of
mucking with installers.

Regards,

Phil Dennis
