[Haskell-cafe] Troubles with PostgreSQL, Persistent and Apple M1

[Branimir Maksimovic]

seems you are using ghc for different architecture:
bmaxa at Branimirs-Air ~ % brew search ghc
==> Formulae
ghc ✔         ghc at 8.6       ghc at 8.8       ghc at 9         gh            ghq           ghi           ghz           ghr           grc           gcc ✔         shc

If you meant "ghc" specifically:
It was migrated from homebrew/cask to homebrew/core.
bmaxa at Branimirs-Air ~ % ghc -v
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 8.10.7, stage 2 booted by GHC version 8.10.7
