If that's the case:  The issue is that OS X ships with a version of
libreadline (really, a wrapper around the libedit library) which is
not useable by the Haskell readline package.

You can fix this by installing a "real" version of readline; either
download and install from
ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.2.tar.gz , or else install
GNUreadline.framework from:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/mac_frameworks/mac_e.htm
