Version 6.10.1 (released 4 November 2008)Online DocsDistribution packagesGHC is packaged for a number of operating systems and distributions. While they may lag behind the latest GHC release, advantages such as dependency checking and ease of uninstallation mean we recommend using them anyway, unless you have a particular need for new features or bug fixes. Binary PackagesThe OS-specific packages (eg. RPMs on Linux) are generally a better bet than the vanilla .tar.bz2 binary bundles, because they will check for dependencies and allow the package to be uninstalled at a later date. However, if you don't have permission to install binaries on your system, or you want to install somewhere other than the default place (/usr or /usr/local on a Unix system), then you'll need to use a .tar.bz2 binary bundle.

This is a complete build, and should work for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista. It also includes support for compiling C++ files. MacOS X (Intel)
This is an installer for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). The package requires Xcode 3.0 to be already installed. You can find Xcode 3.0 on your Leopard installation DVD (or at http://developer.apple.com/. This is a binary distribution for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), prepared by Christian Maeder. It needs libedit.2.dylib, libncurses.5.dylib and libgmp.3.dylib under /opt/local/lib/. Community supported platformsMacOS X (PowerPC)This is a binary distribution for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) on PowerPC G5 machines, prepared by Christian Maeder. It needs libedit.2.dylib, libncurses.5.dylib and libgmp.3.dylib under /opt/local/lib/. This is a binary distribution for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), prepared by Michael Witten. Source Distribution
The source distribution needs an installed GHC (version 6.4.2 at least). If your platform isn't currently supported with a binary distribution, then you'll need to consult the section on Porting GHC in the Building Guide. |
