You can always (1) Install VirtualBox -- it's free. (2) Set up an Ubuntu VM inside VirtualBox -- Ubuntu is also free. (3) Install Haskell in Ubuntu. I've done exactly that on the Mac laptop I use. I also have Haskell running under Mac OS with no special problems. > It's very unfortunate that Haskell on Mac requires > software which can neither be bundled in the install kit nor downloaded > freely from elsewhere. Note that the price for XCode applies to *XCode*. It's not a price for *GCC*. Having XCode, I was about to download GCC 4.5, build it, and install it in my own ~/local directory. Presumably, having built it, I could have copied it somewhere else. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
