So I think it should all work, and in any case Ian now has a Mac so we can
verify all this.

I've just tried it (make framework-pkg), and modulo a couple of fixes
for installing with a DESTDIR (which I'll push once I've validated) a
working installer seems to be produced. I installed it and ghci is able
to do arithmetic, at least.

Great!

By the way, Manuel, is it supposed to remove the older version of GHC I
had installed?

You can have one version per branch. This may sound somewhat funny, but is because Mac frameworks are versioned with the major and minor version number, but not the patchlevel - see '/Library/Frameworks/ GHC.Framework/Versions/' (and I tried to follow Mac OS standards as far as I could). To remove just one version, simply delete it from that versions directory. (One principle behind installations on Mac OS is that everything is in one directory and not spread around the system, so just removing that directory gets rid of a whole install.) However, to uninstall the framework itself, run the 'Uninstaller' script in the GHC.framework/Tools/ directory.
