I am trying to build this version of GHC on Mac OS X. I'm currently  
using GHC 6.6. The build is failing with the following error:

ghci/InteractiveUI.hs:69:7:
     Could not find module `System.Console.Readline':
       Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
<<ghc: 310591992 bytes, 51 GCs, 4238510/9457140 avg/max bytes  
residency (4 samples), 26M in use, 0.02 INIT (0.00 elapsed), 2.11 MUT  
(15.73 elapsed), 0.31 GC (0.36 elapsed) :ghc>>
make[2]: *** [depend] Error 1
make[1]: *** [stage2] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap2] Error 2

So it seems I need to install the Readline library. But building the  
Readline library is also giving me errors on my system.

Just wondering if someone else has managed to build ghc-6.7.x on Mac  
OS X? If so, what did you need to do?

Cheers,

Ruben
