[Haskell-cafe] Re: GHC trouble on Leopard

[Miguel Vilaca]

Hi Manuel,

After your tip, I check the file, it permissions and it content, and  
find that this specific file looks for perl in an existing place; this  
is a fresh Leopard and I just installed a few things using binaries.

It seems GHC expects perl to be installed through macPorts or Fink and  
i have neither of them.

Just changing the first line of the file
/Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/608/usr/lib/ghc-6.8.3/ghc-asm
from
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
to
#!/usr/bin/perl
solves the problem.

Thanks for the help.
