but when I try installing ghc from that page it seems to install fine 
but when I invoke /usr/local/bin/ghc i get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap


My version of mac os x is 10.4.8

Again thanks for your time and help so far!
