Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Type the following at the command line:

xcode-select --install

and then try ghci again.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the software" in the phrase "Should I delete
and reinstall the software you told me to install?" but in any case don't
delete anything. Please try to be as specific as possible.

When you first encounter a problem you should Google for a solution. If
that doesn't work you can send mail to me but also cc ghc-d...@haskell.org
and  glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org

Cheers
George

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[Steven Smith]

I recommend using macOS package managers to take care of all this. There’s a whole community of knowledgeable folks who have figured out all these build and install details, and I know that it’s simply a matter of doing this to get a working version of the latest, on either x86_64 or arm64 machines:sudo port install ghcThat’s using MacPorts. There are other options, but I strongly recommend MacPorts for several reasons, especially for development tools.On Mar 15, 2023, at 12:04, George Colpitts  wrote:Hi BillI'm cc'ing GHC dev and GHC users as someone else may have a better answer, catch a mistake I made etc. Please don't delete them.I believe you have encountered https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206I believe the way to fix this is to do the following:rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*./configuresudo xattr -rc .sudo make installHowever I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is supposed to have been fixed.CheersGeorgeOn Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 11:21 AM William McEnaney  wrote:Hi, George,I got this message when I ran make install with the sudo command.

Somehow I missed that it is now working for you. Great! Definitely no need
to report a bug. Haskell is a great language. Enjoy!

 I think it's best if you submit a bug as described here
 

 Whether in email or in the bug report it is critical that you
 describe how the reader can reproduce the bug, i.e. starting from the
 beginning,  describe what you did and what error message(s) you got.

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill,

It's easy to forget to do replay all in gmail but it's important to do so
in these emails.

In your original email you wrote:

After installing the compiler, my laptop said its processor was wrong for
the binary distribution I chose. If there is a dmg file for *MacOS 12.5.1,*
please please link your reply to it.


Can you confirm that you no longer have the problem "of processor was wrong
for the binary distribution I chose." ?

My understanding is that after that you got the error:

libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.

I then suggested you had encountered
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206  and I
suggested you do:

 rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install


You said you did and got a warning "that some program wanted to access my
photos when I don't have any."

Can you repeat those steps and cut and paste your terminal session into an
email?

Unfortunately I am too busy to continue replying but with the above I think
somebody will be able to help you.

Cheers,
George

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Bill

For your latest problem

 libHSterminfo-0.4.1.5-ghc9.4.4.dylib” can’t be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software.

Did you try what I wrote in my last email:

 rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install

George

It may be that the reason is either a GHC bug
(https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23009) or further changes
by Apple (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23115)

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[Brandon Allbery]

That seems unlikely; it would report a permission error in that case,
not that it had the wrong architecture.

 Hi Bill

 Yes,GHC will run on your new MacBook Air. The cpu in that is Apple Silicon 
 , the aarch64-apple-darwin platform. Older Macs run on Intel chips, the 
 x86_64-apple-darwin platform.

 I'm not sure how you installed the compiler. I believe the standard way is 
 described on https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/. Can you tell us how you 
 installed it?

 Thanks
 George

Re: Installing GHC on my MacBook Air

[George Colpitts]

Hi Bill

I'm cc'ing GHC dev and GHC users as someone else may have a better answer,
catch a mistake I made etc. Please don't delete them.

I believe you have encountered
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/21506#note_447206

I believe the way to fix this is to do the following:

rm -fr /usr/local/bin/ghc*
rm -fr /usr/local/lib/ghc*
./configure
sudo xattr -rc .
sudo make install


However I am unsure why you are encountering this as the issue is supposed
to have been fixed.

Cheers
George
