New description:
Mac Intel (Tiger) installation from the binary package failed.
I downloaded http://haskell.org/ghc/dist/6.6/ghc-6.6-i386-apple-
darwin.tar.bz2 and
moved the directory ghc6.6 under /Applications. I then tried a few
combinations of
./configure and make, none of which worked, apparently because there is no
/usr/local/lib.
(caveat: I'm not a UNIX guru, I only have the vaguest idea what's going on
here.)
I tried ./configure (with no prefix) and then make install; when that
failed for
lack of /usr/local/lib, I tried make in-place.
That apparently succeeded and told me to put
/Applications/ghc-6.6/bin/i386-apple-darwin in my PATH. I haven't yet
looked up where the
plist file is that sets my PATH, but I just tried
/Applications/ghc-6.6/bin/i386-apple-darwin/ghci, and that failed for lack
of
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6.
The ghci script being executed is apparently:
{{{
#! /bin/sh
bindir='/Applications/ghc-6.6/bin/i386-apple-darwin'
libdir='/Applications/ghc-6.6/lib/i386-apple-darwin'
libexecdir='/Applications/ghc-6.6/lib/i386-apple-darwin'
datadir='/Applications/ghc-6.6/share'
SED='/usr/bin/sed'
DEFAULT_TMPDIR='/tmp'
#!/bin/sh
GHCBIN="/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6";
TOPDIROPT="-B/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6";
# Mini-driver for GHCi
exec $GHCBIN $TOPDIROPT --interactive ${1+"$@"}
}}}
I tried ./configure --prefix /Applications/ghc6.6
and then make in-place, and got the same results.

Comment:
Hmm, `ghc-6.6/bin/i386-unknown-linux/ghci-6.6.sh` is supposed to contain
the lines
{{{
GHCBIN="$libexecdir/ghc-6.6";
TOPDIROPT="-B$libdir";
}}}
whereas in that tarball it contains
{{{
GHCBIN="/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6";
TOPDIROPT="-B/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6";
}}}
(The `ghci` script is then built by echoing the variable definitions and
catting
`ghci-6.6.sh`).
So, I'm not sure why that happened, but you can work around the problem by
editing the scripts and setting the paths manually, either to the
appropriate variables or just to the correct absolute paths.
Alternatively, I've just fixed the scripts in the tarball, so downloading
it again and trying to install it should work.
I was already planning to change the way these scripts are made so that we
always get the version with variables, so hopefully this won't come up
again in the future.
Please feel free to reopen this bug (or file another one) if you still
have trouble.
