Oh well... looks like building ghc won't be easy, as it doesn't build with llvm-gcc and it's not easy to get a "real" gcc on Lion. But I don't stop trying :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 11:12 AM, Eugene Kirpichov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ekirpichov@gmail.com">ekirpichov@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
