sounds good to me. where can I find the list of packages (or whatever they call them in homebrew, formula?) available?

Homebrew only makes available GHC and the Platform: http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/ghc.rb http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/haskell-platform.rb AFAIK Homebrew's policy is to not provide packages for things that can be installed via language-specific package management tools. Consequently, they don't provide packages for Ruby gems (use gem instead), Python eggs (use easy_install) and Haskell packages (use cabal).

On 10.6 it seems to be OK. OK. I was only thinking on the compiler (as in the first post). When adding packages, it is trickier; I've only by hand. Then in some case MacPorts might be better if wanting to do a lot of package chasing - perhaps it was Gtk. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] ghc in macports
Seconded. I've started using the Haskell Platform mainly because the ports version is out of date. Unfortunately it keeps getting pulled in as a dependency of something even though I'm not using it.
