Who remembers HP 2013.4.0.0...?

[Tim C. Schroeder]

Thanks for the clarifications! I just saw a number of 7.6.3 + 10.9 reports about linker issues and such popping up in the last few months and remember some work being done to backport a couple of fixes for a 7.6.4 release. If all will be fine with standard Apple Cmd Line Tools, that's great.

I don't think the 10.6 64bit issue is a HP issue in any way. I also tied building my own GHC from source, it did nothing to resolve that crash. I only think it's problematic that the HP download page has been listing 10.6 + XCode 4.1 + GHC 64bit as a working combination when that stopped being the case quite some time ago. It does not seem like that bug will get fixed, so I was just suggesting to update the download page to recommend only the 32bit GHC for 10.6 users.

Cheers,
Tim

In particular that user is using homebrew and a homebrew installed gcc. As one side effect of homebrew is a whole new/different set of libs (for example, there is a well known issue with homebrew and iconv, and I've seen reports in other contexts than Haskell).
