[nhc-bugs] Unable to build on MacOSX

[shiv@mac.com]

Hi,

I tried installing nhc-1.10 from source on a PowerBook G4 Mac OSX 10.1.

I ran

./configre --buildwith=cc --buildopts=-traditional-cpp

I then did make and got the following errors:

Any idea, what I should do? I thought that config had figured out that 
this was a big-endian machine. Or is the problem elsewhere. Any help 
will be appreciated (as this is the only haskell compiler on Mac). 
Thanks,
