I haven't commented before because most of the issues seemed to be Mac
specific, which I know nothing about, but avoid the Hackage packages
for lambdabot. You should be working out of darcs for lambdabot and
its split-out packages like show or unlambda:
http://code.haskell.org/lambdabot/

Darcs lambdabot ought to work reasonably well with GHC 6.12.1, which
is what I have.
