[GHC] #1367: GHC[i] 6.6.1 can't find GNUreadline on PPC mac

[Hal Perkins]

Hello -

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the delay in following up  
(end of the academic year and then travels, ...)

I finally got around to trying the suggested installation of the  
readline framework, and with that GHC[i] 6.6.1 works properly.

One suggestion (request?) for the future: would it be possible to fix  
the pre-built os-x packages so they are self-contained, as they were  
for GHC 6.6?  Or at least add a note to the instructions on the  
download page (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_661.html) and/ 
or maybe in the dmg file describing what needs to be done to install  
the necessary frameworks?  Either would be appreciated.

Thanks again, and at least from my end, this bug seems resolved.

Hal
